Let Your Intuition Set the Pace
As comforting as knowledge can be to have, there are situations that require me to think quickly to survive. When intuition is required over knowledge, I must be ready to drop what I know, listen to what is and trust in what I feel.

Reaction is an inevitable part of an experience. It is a personal responsibility to recognize them and align our actions with ourselves. As what I think and feel become the expression of my person, it's my job to tend to what I grow. I choose what I become by nourishing the thoughts that align with me.

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.

Every Effort is Worth Trying

Without thinking of change with a negative viewpoint, every effort to adjust is a growth opportunityI had not expected and am free to appreciate.
You Don’t Have to Know to Survive
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.
Just Like Everyone Else
I know that people are human beings struggling with who they are in the life they live. I recall my experience as a teenager living with epilepsy at a time when epilepsy was hardly known. Despite my unique experience, it was not different from other people's experiences. Perspective helps me to recognize how human I am, despite my differences.
