Despite Setbacks, Celine Dion Says Nothing Is Going To Stop Her
Today’s Kick Butt Tip of the Day is from Celine Dion who proudly says “nothing is going to stop me.”
Dion, referred to as the Queen of the Power Ballads, is by far, the biggest selling artist in Canadian music history.
In May of 2023, Dion was diagnosed with a very rare type of disease called Stiff Person Syndrome. Those diagnosed usually suffer from extremely painful muscle spasms. Often these spasms can affect a person’s entire body. Falling is of major concern because the legs are most often adversely affected.
Recently, Celine Dion sat down for an interview with the publication Vogue France. You can read this entire interview for yourself by clicking here.
From the point of her diagnosis, Dion says she is doing all that she can to combat the effects of this rare neurological condition. If you would like to learn more about Stiff Person Syndrome, here is a link from the Cleveland Clinic. Click here.
We both have heard the statement, “attitude is everything.” With the attitude “nothing is going to stop me,” I believe if anyone can beat this disease, Celine Dion will.
Several years ago, actor Hugh Jackman, known worldwide for his role as Wolverine in the “X-Men” movie franchise, was diagnosed with basal-cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. Just like Celine Dion, Jackman tackled the diagnosis head on and with a great attitude. Since that time, Jackman has had a number of skin cancer removal surgeries just on his nose alone.
Over twenty years ago, actor Robert DeNiro got the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Fortunately, he is still alive and continues to perform.
There are many more examples we can refer to. For now though, be thankful for a drama-free life. And should a challenging medical diagnosis come your way in the future, remember the words of Celine Dion. “Nothing is going to stop me!”
Go get ’em tiger! God don’t make no junk. You, yes you are awesome! Now go be awesome!
