On episode 60 of Beyond Labels & Limitations, John Graybill shares how he struggles with limb girdle muscular dystrophy. The struggle wasn't always the same over 26 years. When John was younger he believed himself to be the physical John. Naturally, whenever he lost an ability, he took it hard, and he tried to get that physical ability back. It wasn't until John heard Wayne Dyer speak of an idea that "we are all spiritual beings having a human experience" did John start the shift. Now, John sees that whenever he gets down and the struggles of muscular dystrophy are heavy, it's because he has gone back into the belief that he is a physical being.

This self inquiry is a life-long one but one we need to make if we are to go beyond muscular dystrophy. Keep asking yourself, "Who am I" and you'll find out who you really are.

On episode 58 of Beyond Labels & Limitations, John Graybill shares how traveling to his parents house brought up challenges he hadn't encountered on previous trips there. Why your friend, child or partner doesn't want to go new places or even places visited before is probably due to it's getting more challenging for them to be independent. John didn't like having to have his dad help him with going up stairs, going down the stairs, lifting him off the toilet, helping him get to the toilet, sitting in a chair. All of these activities John could somewhat do before but since the disease is weakening him John has to rely on others for a lot.

On episode 57 of Beyond Labels & Limitations, John Graybill talks about how he sees his life with LGMD. John was diagnosed in 1995 at the age of 17. He thought his life was over when the doctors told him he had muscular dystrophy. John gave up on life. When John met Wayne Dyer, his perspective on life changed. He attended college, where he studied psychology, and started to look at how he saw himself with this disease. Ultimately, over time John began to see that this disease was here to teach him and that it was up to him to see the lessons if he wanted to live a happy life.
