Good morning from Tokyo!

I just finished writing this is a reply to some positive feedback that I received for one of the inspirational quotes I posted on June 4^th from Andrew Holland. I will begin by sharing with you what Andrew wrote and conclude with my reply.

Take care, stay positive and have a great day! Alvin

Hello Alvin, yes its Andrew yet again. My friend, for this, quote all I can feedback to you is this, the serenity prayer.

God, grant me the serenity, to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. I feel that you are a thinker, who lives in and for the now. I thank you Alvin for inspiring me to think in a different frame of mind. I feel that I should share something about myself that I struggle with. I have a form of Autism called Aspergers Syndrome. Some say a gift, and I agree. It is also a curse, because I don’t see the world as others view and perceive it to be. I shall continue to give you feedback on your blogs and will do more with my blog site too,

Kind regards Andrew

Hello Andrew,

I hope that all is well and you are finding a way to enjoy each and every precious moment of your gift of life! Thank you for sharing your very positive feedback with me, I really appreciate it! I created this blog to contribute something positive to the world! When I receive feedback from people like you it inspires me to continue to do it! Thank you!

I believe that every moment of life is a very precious gift and I intend to focus my energy on finding a way to enjoy each and every precious moment of it no matter what challenges my life presents me with! Knowing that life has a beginning and an end I did not want to wait until it was time to die to discover that I had never really lived!

I don’t know what it’s like to live with Autism or the incredible challenges you face on a daily basis. As a heart patient and a person with chronic pain throughout my body I know what it’s like to live with disabilities! I can remember sitting in my apartment in the dark a few years ago heavily medicated to escape the unbelievable pain that I was in. I wouldn’t eat, I wouldn’t answer the phone and I would not leave my apartment for days at a time.

One day in a moment of clarity I realized that in the state that I was in I was not really living my life anymore I was just getting through each day! I decided I would use my mind to help me learn to deal with and work through the pain that I was experiencing. I do not recommend this to anyone, however I reduced the amount of medication that I was taking without consulting my doctors by half and endured the affects of prescription drug withdrawal.

I focused my energy on changing the way that I was thinking and talking about my life in order to create a different life experience! I thought and communicated about my life in a more positive way and I began to experience my life in a more positive way!

Thank you again for your inspiration!

That’s all for now! Take care, stay positive and have a great day!
