Whats The Most Valuable Piece Of Advice You’ve Received Since Your Diagnosis?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

One of the first things I was told is that an HIV / AIDs diagnosis brings with it a rollercoaster of ups and downs so make sure you buckle up. About two years into my diagnosis I can say this has definitely been the case, at least for me. How about yourself? Do any of you remember sage words of wisdom that rang true for you?

When I was a kid I use to listen to American Top 40 with Casey Kc Ksen as the host.

He would always conclude his program with, “ keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.”

I always thought he meant, keep a balanced attitude, don’t give up and keep trying your best.

That advice has worked for me.
