Disease is a pathological process, a deviation from a biological norm. A disease requires treatment to get better.

Sickness is a less serious health condition that does not require treatment. Sickness can be caused by various things, from the flu to the common cold, and usually lasts for a specific period and then goes away on its own.

The main difference between disease and sickness is that disease requires treatment to get better, while sickness does not.

"Self-leadership is the greatest leadership challenge any of us face. But self-leadership is a critical component to our success in every arena of life. You'll never be a leader worth following if you don't lead yourself well. And while that's apparent if you have an official organizational leadership role, it should be equally apparent if you're a parent." Excerpt From Better Decisions, Fewer Regrets Andy Stanley

Have you ever treated the symptoms of your life like a disease when they were actually a sickness or vice versa?

Who are the people in your life you can get diagnosed with?

Who are the people in your life that will tell you if the symptoms of bitterness, anger, frustration, stress, depression, tiredness, and laziness are just a sickness due to your surroundings and will get better when the season is over or if it is an underlying condition that needs treatment?

If we are going to be good leaders, we need people around us who will make us better, not just tell us what we want to hear.

Here are a few questions for you.

What is a symptom in your life you don't like?

How long has that symptom been hanging around?

Have you been treating a symptom as a disease or a disease as a symptom?

Do you really want to get better?
