I strive for what I want but must admit that I don't have full control. I look for the subtle gifts after the tide has calmed.

When my perception is in alignment with who I am, I can trust that I am living as I am meant to, even if the course changes along the way. It is my responsibility to determine my thoughts.

Desire is a starting point in a journey that doesn't guarantee what will result. Constant awareness is required to change with the progression met along the journey. It may not be what was expected but it serves our development. It's our responsibility to decipher the connection we feel.

A reflection pondering the alternate perspectives of what life is offering. 

When feeling disabled is a flash of realization at the moment, my perception determines my ability to move with it. I must know the cause of my reaction to find my solution.

Repetitive thoughts become beliefs. Despite what I know and feel, it's my responsibility to nurture what aligns with me. Every challenge is an opportunity to review myself and the beliefs I create.

What I like or don't like can get in the way of flowing with the process. Focusing to allow the changes to flow rather than judging from what I think I know opens my mind and journey to the possibilities.

 Give yourself time to realize what is happening before drawing a conclusion and believing that it is actual. Treat reactions like a start to discovery. Follow through with what you know while staying aware to learn more.

Make time to filter through your reactions and wisely choose what you wish to grow. Changes happen constantly and care is required to determine the root of what starts to grow. Appreciate whatever sprouts and tend to the blooms that add to your existence!

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.

 My life experience taught me to focus on something to learn rather than feed negative reactions.Sensing change, it is better to flow with the situation instead of resisting or trying to get my way. Allowing life to guide me, I choose to appreciate the moment and make the best of it. Reflecting on the situation can be done after the process has completed.

 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.

 I was taught that having knowledge and being able to recite it would prove my intelligence and assist my survival. My life doesn’t align with that and I’ve learned that a curiosity for learning and a willingness to accept not-knowing offers more discoveries and allows me to survive with the treasure I held within.

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!

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 realization of the experience that is the root of who I am.

Sharing a constant battle that I must face in order to learn as my present self.

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

Keep examining what surrounds you, past and present. Don’t lose sight of yourself, no matter where you’re headed.
