Disability Progress part 1

I accept myself with all of my limitations.  I do the best I can with what I’ve got and I know that recovery is not only making progress, it is one step.  Making progress is simple, but not easy.  It requires commitment and a single-minded sustained determination to overcome obstacles and improve.  
​
Doing anything to try to make a change is positive. The simple act of making a steady effort is making progress.  I have learned that this has got to be enough for me, on a daily basis.

Every morning, I get a new opportunity to be better than I was yesterday.  I put a lot of small accomplishments together and find that I’ve realized a huge goal.  My ability to reintegrate into the mainstream is a product of many small accomplishments tied together in a neat bundle.  I work very hard every day, to live as well as I can.

At the beginning of my talk I asked, “Does Anyone Live Free from Suffering and Loss?
I know that I don’t.  My life has taught me that I was not singled out for the terrible misfortunes that I’ve experienced.  That insight alone doesn’t eliminate of minimize my problems.  Instead, it reduces the suffering that comes from struggling with the unfortunate facts of my life.

I wish things were different, but they are not.  All I can do is the best that I can and allow myself to enjoy and be proud of the progress I make on a daily basis.  This is also all I can expect of others.
 
Never doubt that you are VALUABLE & POWERFUL deserving 
Of every chance and opportunity in the world to persue and achieve your own dream REMEMBER to always walk with your head held high because you are never alone in this I am always there with you
 
Your mind will always believe everything you tell it. Feet it faith, Feed it LOVE, Feed it inspiration.
I fundamentally believe that the power within us is greater than any circumstance or any condition we are currently facing – no matter how long that circumstance has been there and how difficult it’s been – and that anyone can live a life they love. I know what kind of system most effectively moves a person from the life they’re living now to the results they want to have. 

I find joy in using my gifts to help people create the lives of their dreams. 

I help you see the answers you already have inside of you and find the courage to pursue those answers, even when you want to give up because of their circumstances. 

You can get Better or you can get Bitter. It is not about fait the choice is yours. You take the hand life dealt you and let it tear you down or you use it to make you a stronger and better person.
 
We always think of those successful people and wish we had it like that, probably giving ourselves excuses for why we haven't made it like them
 
But there's no reason why that couldn't be you! The reason they are there is because they went for it, they made the sacrifice, put in the time and really put the effort in
.
 Stop limiting yourself and really put your heart, body and mind into something 100%
.
I promise you'll surprise yourself
 
The life you want is out there! You just have to go get it!!
Being a quadriplegic I'm often overlooked in what I can do.
 
But hopefully over the years or through my actions & books I've hopefully shown you it's not my situation that limits me but what I limit myself by and hopefully you can see that's not that much!
On paper, statistically when I got injured stated a quadriplegic who's permanently in a wheelchair wanting to live a fairly normal life married, kids, job, traveling, etc a lot people would say it's not possible.

 
But life's not about doing what's easy it's about doing what you want! Yes it took a lot of dedication, commitment, sacrifice and planning but It ended up accomplishing so much. Remember your only limit is you.
 
Following my paralysis I felt uncomfortable in my own skin but I would not let anyone know it, I was still adjusting to my reflection in the mirror as I added 4 wheels to the picture. However, here I am four decades later and I have realized that I have more confidence following my paralysis than I ever did before. 

It comes from knowing the defeats, it comes from knowing the depths and knowing that I survived them. In many ways my wheelchair is the very thing that helped me find my confidence - it forced me to be okay with standing out, it brought me back to the bottom line which allowed me to find the confidence that comes with strength and it forced me to realize that sometimes the very things that set us apart are what make us the most beautiful. 
 
It is that very confidence that has allowed me to fully love myself so I can truly love another. Confidence is the intangible that makes us shine, it is the very thing that gives us the strength to overcome, the courage to dream and the heart to show empathy. Confidence is not only beauty, it is heart, it is courage, it is strength and it is what sets us free.
