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.

Respect the unique variations in every being. Harmony isn’t without strife, a peaceful coexistence is always possible.
