Letting Others In
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsI admit I’m kind of notorious for keeping people in the dark and not sharing my feelings. I keep a lot of things inside instead of following the healthier path of getting them out in the open. It’s not that I’m trying to hide things from people; it’s because I don’t want to burden or…

Courage
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsRecently, my 7-year-old grandson performed an act that amazed me. He’s in first grade and his class was outside playing at recess. He noticed some police vehicles started to gather at a location a block and a half away from the school, so he immediately brought it to the attention of one of the paras…

Fear and Worry
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsWhat is it that you fear the most? For me, it’s the unknown. If I don’t know what’s coming, I don’t know how to plan for it. I suspect that’s the way it is for many people with Myasthenia Gravis or any other chronic condition. Most of the time, what we fear never materializes or…

“You Gotta Have Faith”
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsYes, these are words from the George Michael hit “Faith” released in 1987, but no, I’m not talking about the same subject. In the song, Michael is singing about needing self-belief and strength to walk away from a shallow, tempting relationship, choosing to wait for deeper love rather than settling for a physically-driven connection without…

“Toughness Doesn’t Need To Be Loud”
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsThat’s the lesson Elsa Mendoza taught her son, Fernando, from a very young age. She said, “Toughness doesn’t need to be loud. It can be quiet and strong.” If you watched the College National Championship Football Game last night, you saw that quote play out. The Indiana Hoosiers won the National Championship while also going…

Merry Christmas!
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsChristmas is such a wonderful time of the year. I hope you take the time this Christmas to really appreciate all the season offers. I’m so thankful that God fulfilled His promise by sending His Son to save all who believe. Born in a stable, laid in a manager, the birth of Jesus didn’t seem…

Myasthenia Gravis – Through the Eyes of Love – Final Thoughts
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsIf you’ve read my last five blogs, you now know my opinion on how you can live with Myasthenia Gravis through the eyes of love. It comes from Consciousness. Some believe that Consciousness is what makes us closer to God and I’m a firm believer in that philosophy. When we learn to appreciate, we can’t…

Myasthenia Gravis – Through the Eyes of Love Part V
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsI wanted to spend a little more time on Self-Love, because it can be so easily misconstrued. Self-Love actually comes from three different parts of our minds. It can come from Ego, it can come from Conscience, and it can come from Consciousness. Allow me to explain. Self-Love that comes from Ego focuses on whatever…

Myasthenia Gravis – Through the Eyes of Love Part IV
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsToday, as we continue on our journey of looking at Myasthenia Gravis through the eyes of love, we’re going to be talking about self-love. It’s a very complex aspect of love. Some have too much and some have too little. I’m sure you’ve known someone in your life who always put others first. They worked…
