There is a way of reprogramming what the mind believes. A willingness to experience differently and choosing thoughts carefully will craft a new experience. Allow the learning process to take you farther than where you were.

Imagining what it is like to be a tree while relating to the human experience, I feel peaceful that we are one and the same. Independence and community are supportive during the storms and we all continue growing.

Living with epilepsy taught me that perfection is an illusion. When changes occur, it is best that I know myself, be willing to do my best and work with what is available. Changes are continuous in any situation and I can only offer my best at the moment. What does not turn out has the potential to offer something new.

Imagine yourself as the blooming flower that you are and open yourself to share beauty. Reach for your light, blossom out of the darkness staying grounded while discovering new heights.

 My core goal is to grow myself. Every example I compare to is an opportunity to expand in a new way. Setting my own heights and competing with myself lets me progress according to my life’s direction one step at a time.

Being aware of change and trusting that I don’t have to know, success is in my ability to experience what is happening. Accepting whatever comes my way reminds me that I am a part of something greater. Continuous growth makes challenges into wonders to discover.

 I've spent a lifetime striving for my physical capability and realize now that my spirit speaks louder than my body alone could ever achieve. I know that when I am physically lacking I have the choice to adapt mentally so I can appreciate and grow with the situation.

 Enjoyment is possible in any situation when I choose to tap into the wonder and concentrate only on what I can control. Admitting that I don’t know liberates me to enjoy situations like adventures. A constant mindset of learning helps me to uncover what I would otherwise miss when I insist that I know. Life is an adventure when there is something to discover.

 The journey to achieve greatness often distracts me from remembering that I am human and still developing. Perceiving what doesn’t go my way as reminders and lessons presents hope for more to come.

 Reflecting on what my experience with seizure recoveries taught me. Acceptance and a willingness to learn turned adversity into blessings.

When I perceive an opposition as a sign for change, I don’t stay frustrated because I see it as an opportunity to grow. What could have been an annoyance evolves into a blessing as I openly flow with the experience. Failure is never a hindrance when I’m discovering more!

Perseverance is not only a response to adversity, it is a deliberate choice to accept what I encounter. Choosing perseverance is my key to growth and enjoyment!

Disability is not something that is against us that must be fixed to prove our worth, it is something everyone can recognize in moments of uncertainty and grow from it. Disability is a motivation to pay attention to our ability and apply it to the situation. Recognize that disability is something that everyone encounters on their journey to grow. 

Reflecting on the beauty of awakening and anticipating the Spring season.

Reflecting on a search I made for what I thought was missing but discovered that it was buried within.

Inspired by the realization that the pain I suppressed in my past reappears today and trying a different way of dealing with it.

Reflecting on how productivity isn’t always how success should be measured. Acknowledging how small contributions are valuable to our success.

Believing is the first step to becoming. Focus on your intention and know your why to keep growing with the changes.

To be conscious of now, I had to explore my past, forgive what had to be and sort through what is no longer necessary.

The realizations after taking time to reflect on myself and my past.
