My guest, Elaine Gabalac, opens up for the first time about living with epilepsy. Diagnosed at fourteen, she was angry, sad and scared. But things had to get a lot worse before she realized that the very thing destroying her life was also the very thing she needed to embrace \u2014 and that thing was fear. \u201cFear is useless,\u201d she says. \u201cYou can't summon courage to meet fear from a place of emptiness.\u201d Grateful now for having epilepsy, it's taught Elaine how to accept and embrace adversity and how to overcome fear. \u201cNow I can catch all that is good and within my reach. I can enjoy the little things in life. That's the art of living,\u201d she says. \u201cBut it's a choice. Healing is a choice; faith is a choice; courage is a choice.&quot; Life is a choice. Give yourself the chance to live the life you're dreaming about. In the words of Mark Nepo: \u201cOne life. Just one. Why aren't we running like we're on fire towards our wildest dreams?&quot; \u00a9 2019 Mo Vear Visit: HumorMeWithMo.com Email: humormewithmo@gmail.com Facebook page HumorMeWithMo @BiteOfCourage on Twitter Mo on LinkedIn Bite of Courage on Instagram Trio Productions.
