not surprising you are struggling to find the startline for your declared fight amidst the sea of emotions that will have your mind thrashing in turmoil.It will come into view after you get past the "why me" and "apocalypse now" moments.
Standing on that startline you may envisage yourself strapping on your armour and reaching for your weapons with which to head forth into battle,but what will those be?.The reality is closer to stepping onto a bus, being taken on a journey to an as yet undisclosed location.
That you will need the mentality of a warrior is beyond doubt, but one who will not carry weapons, but instead as one who will not break in a siege, you will not give blows, but need to carry the resilience to ride each one upon yourself as it arrives.
Your body and mind become the battleground and receiver, you do not give out the blows in response, that is for your allies,the medical team involved in your treatment, your task is to allow your enemy to wreck its futility upon the fortress of your solidity.
To allow yourself the luxury of too much personal stress is to provide your foe with an advantage and weak point from which to attack.
The weapons you must carry are trust in your inner self, confidence in your allies,the clearest stressfree mind you can provide as your body comes under pressure, and the knowledge that you will emerge far stronger than you could have ever imagined at the outset.
Walk gently but unerringly forward towards your future chosen destination that lies just over your current horizon knowing the possibility to reach it exists, one small step followed by yet another counted by many will carry your journey forward
Should you fall over or be knocked down, know that as you get up facing front, your feet will once again move forward, for this is the naked warrior you will become, the steel is in your mind not armour protection you would wear.
Hold on to this knowledge,it will serve you well in your future as it has done for all of us that have emerged stronger and better people from the challenge,
