Hi,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve got to tell you about this woman I heard about \u2013 her story is so inspiring!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Her name is Paula, and she has fibromyalgia. <\/span>Most of the time she is in constant pain throughout her whole body. <\/span>But does she complain? No. <\/span>Does she just lay in bed and let her supporter wait on her hand and foot? No. <\/span>Does she just sit back and take money from the government? <\/span>No.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Paula started her own home-based business over the Internet. <\/span>She makes customized plaques for people. She loves what she does. <\/span>She doesn’t make a fortune, but she makes people happy, and that makes her feel good. Having her own business instead of just sitting around makes her feel good about herself, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She has good days and bad days. But because she has such a positive attitude, even her bad days are not as bad as they could be.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The thing that I’ve learned from Paula is that, even though you might have limitations, you’re only as limited as you think you are!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, you’re only as limited as you let yourself be. <\/span>It’s your choice \u2013 Yes, you have limitations because of the bipolar disorder, but if you let them limit you, they will.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, if you choose, you can rise above those limitations (don’t let them limit you), and you can accomplish great things in spite of them!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just look at what Paula did, starting her own home business, not letting the fibromyalgia stop her.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my courses\/systems, I encourage people with bipolar disorder to do the same thing \u2013 to start their own home-based businesses:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s another case to illustrate what I\u2019m talking about:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You know Michele who works for me. <\/span>She doesn’t just have bipolar disorder. <\/span>What she says is “If the diagnosis has letters in it, I have it!”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She says that in a humorous way, but besides having bipolar disorder, she has schizophrenia, ADHD, BPD, OCPD, PTSD, and anxiety\/panic disorder. <\/span>Not only has she risen above all these disorders, but she is one of my best employees! <\/span>She has not let her disorders limit her.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now compare Michele to someone who, say, just has bipolar disorder. And I put the emphasis on “just.” Because despite all the things you complain about with you or your loved one’s bipolar disorder, don’t they seem small in comparison to a Michele or a Paula, who have not let their limitations limit them?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So instead of complaining about the bipolar disorder and all your problems, think about this \u2013 you should be grateful that all you’re dealing with is bipolar disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Because instead you could be dealing with something worse, like Paula and her fibromyalgia (but who doesn’t complain) or Michele with all her disorders besides bipolar disorder (but who doesn’t complain either).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s your choice \u2013 you can complain (which gets you nowhere anyway) and let your limitations limit you, or you can stop complaining and rise above your limitations.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Remember \u2013 you’re only as limited as you think you are!<\/span><\/p>\n
