Everyone knows someone (maybe not in person) who is really sick. And many people wonder “how can these people be so happy”. Some of those people have chronic diseases and physical pain or disabilities.

The truth is, those people who encounter tricky diseases are often happier than “healthy” people. Why is that? I think the reason is that they learn to value their time and spend it in different ways.

How often do you see people complain about stupidities? This is not worth your time. We only have one life and it is short. Many people who are sick understand this faster and they switch their mindset.

Dreams

Maybe, as a student, you always wanted to become a doctor, an architect, or a banker. But was this really you? Or did you just want to get this job because it pays the bills?

“Sick” people, who understand the shortness of life, will often come to the conclusion that you need to discover your real dreams and chase them.

When you are sick for a long time, you also have a lot of time to think and reflect on things. Questions like “what do I want to do with my time?” or “what are my dreams?” come up.

Being sick is not necessarily a bad thing. Some people say, it was the best thing that could have happened to them in retrospect, because it opened so many new ways. Of course, If you would have asked them before “Do you want to have a bad disease”, almost everyone would say no.

Faith and Mindset

Faith is another big factor. Never lose your faith! If you envision and manifest a bright future, it can help you and improve your quality of life tremendously. This might also be the reason why so many people start with self-improvement and training their mindset.

If your disease does not allow you to do physical training, you start doing mental training and focus on a clean diet and other things. Combined with focusing on your passion, this can get very powerful.

After all, you learn that you AND ONLY YOU are responsible for your life. You learn that your luck and positivity does not depend on others. You are your own master.

Bitcoin coincidence?

Weird coincidence: Many people who are or were sick and went through this process, end up in the Bitcoin rabbit hole. Is there a reason for it? I can’t say for sure, but I think it would be logical, that these people like Bitcoin because it matches with their values of time.

Since Bitcoin is limited and won’t expand the supply, it is ideal for saving. Furthermore, Bitcoin teaches you to think for yourself and to take back responsibility that you gave away by relying on third-parties.

Do you agree? Thoughts?
