We Pray to the Lord - Part 4: To Get To Know Others With Bipolar Disorder

I love this video.
It shows us many famous people
who have,
or may have had Bipolar Disorder.

There is hope.
One of the things I have ALWAYS said
is that Bipolar Disorder
brings out extreme creativity.
The challenge
is to use that creativity
in ways that are productive.

I am inspired by this video.
It shows us that what we once saw as curse,
Bipolar Disorder,
can actually be gift
we if learn to channel that energy.

And isn’t that the challenge
in any of life’s struggle?
The challenge
is always
in learning how to b3 blessed in the struggle.

For those who struggle with Bipolar Disorder,
We pray to the Lord.

God bless the struggle.
