I decided to become a surgeon named Bernie who writes books and gives seminars to teach people what he has learned and is still learning about how to deal with life's difficulties.
aspect doctors life patients seen simply trained
Patients want to be seen as people. For me, the person's life comes first; the disease is simply one aspect of it, which I can guide my patients to use as a redirection in their lives. When doctors look at their patients, however, they are trained to see only the disease.
life dying may
Don't do things to not die, do things to enjoy living. The by-product may be not dying.
happy-life two people
Studies of volunteers have shown there is a benefit to performing acts of love for other people. The irony is that it is actually in your best interest to be selfless. The things you do for the benefit of others not only make you feel fulfilled, they increase your chances of living a long and happy life. Remember that an act of love always benefits at least two people.
people enjoy-your-life enjoy
If you love people, you'll enjoy your life. If you don't, you won't love anything you do.

Don't try to help people to 'not die', help them to enjoy life!

It takes more distress and poison to kill someone who has peace of mind and loves life.

Having pets in the house helps everyone have a reverence for life.

Relationships keep us alive and our lives meaningful.

Live by your experience and do not let limited beliefs alter your life experience.
dream want rest-of-your-life
If God came in and said, I want you to be happy for the rest of your life, what would you do?
thanksgiving attitude life-changing
Be grateful simply for being alive. When you are grateful for life, pure and simple, your life becomes one you can be grateful for. That may strike you as circular or even backward logic, but your attitude really does have an effect on how things work out. When you can't change your life any other way, you can still change your attitude. When you do, your life changes. You find more chances to love, and you will be surprised to see how much more love is returned to you.
aids cancer condition cured healed leading life patients physical relates represents strictly unhealthy
I have always made a distinction between healing and curing. To me, 'healed' represents a condition of one's life; 'cured' relates strictly to one's physical condition. In other words, there may be healed quadriplegics and AIDS patients, and cured cancer patients who are leading unhealthy lives.
blessings deal disease life meaning question society teaching threats
The question is not, will there be difficulties and threats to our existence, but how will we deal with them and what can we learn from them. How can they become blessings to society, as a life threatening disease is to an individual, by teaching us about the meaning of our life and existence?
