It’s all about perspective: finding a good one, or at least one that entertains you, and sticking with it. In another life you might have been a star… but in another life you’re always lonely. This is the life you have. Whether it’s good or bad is what you do with it, how you choose to view it, what point of view you take looking out around you every day.

Michael J. Fox deserves a lot more attention from you. Even in the face of Parkinson’s Disease, he still keeps moving forward, and being positive.

(All that aside — Stewart makes a good point. How in the hell do he still look so young?)

It’s not unlike Jason Becker, who continues to make music (indeed, who continues to wake up day after day) well past the life expectancy that doctors gave him. He suffers from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s) and refuses to let it affect him any more than it has to.

Yeah, I have a rough time with money, with health. I’m a little bitter about some things that I’ve gotten, or not gotten, or that have happened or not happened.  We all have our issues.

Today, at least, I’m choosing to be more like Jason and Michael, and seeing those issues as nothing more than challenges, and not even big ones.
