Just a thought

I heard a great quote once that went something along the lines of this:

"we are all victims of what is done to us, we can use that as an excuse to fail or we can you use it as a reason to succeed"

see this hits home with me, because I use diabetes as an excuse for a lot of things. I know in my heart of hearts that its not always the truth and my reason for giving up is just plain ole me. I think not only I, but many other people do the same thing. Nobody wants to be at fault for their own faults. because it sucks. If we all took the bad things handed to us and turned them to a reason to be better then I think the world might be a little better. I'm not saying thats easy, I'm just saying its more worthwhile then failing because of bad things. I have a lot of bad things happen to me and they have caused me to fail, and I let them. but I'm done doing that and I'll take everything, good and bad, and make sure I succeed because of both reasons.
