About a year ago I started enjoying life. I mean REALLY enjoying life. Since then I have my motorcycle licence, I have been sky diving more than once and have been atving through the Mexican Baja. When it comes to taking risk there are 3 kinds of people.

The first group I’ll call the nervous no-gos. This type of person avoids risk at all costs. If they are affected by a peanut allergy you better believe they are eating at the same couple of restaurants day after day. Sadly this individual is no safer than the other two as they usually create dangerous long term medical problems from stress and worry.

Like with any comparison of 3 groups, the middle is always a compromise between the other 2 and this is no different.

The third group lives life full out. They never say no to an opportunity because of what ifs. You can spot these individuals a mile away from their smiles, amazing vacations and lack of regret. Some individuals are just born this way, others fall into this category after almost losing their life and realizing how short it can be.

GOOD NEWS Allergy Sufferers: At any point in time we could drop dead. Mislabeled donut, BAM dead. Peanut Butter in the Chile (seriously, ALWAYS ask about Chile this is not uncommon) dead!  You get the idea. My point is we have all been given an amazing opportunity to live life to the fullest. When a cookie can kill you public speaking, exotic travel, or unbelieveable adventures are no longer so scary. If you’re a parent reading this, take a moment to consider your child’s allergy a blessing. Their allergy gives them an excuse to live the happiest possible life every moment, something few people really have a chance to do. God bless.

LIVING Peanut Free,

Dan.
