When we think of disease we typically think of diseases of our body but I want to talk about diseases of the personality.  There are 3 that I specifically acknowledge: Pessimism, Excuseitis and Procrastination.  I have struggled my way through living with them and then being aware of them. I can now recognize these 'diseases' as they crop up in my life to redirect myself to a more empowering thought/belief/action.
