Life is about making your own happiness - and living by your own rules.

If we want to discover the full potential in our humanity, we need to celebrate those heartbreaking strengths and those glorious disabilities that we all have...it is our humanity, and all the potential within it that makes us beautiful.

I think that everyone has something about themselves that they feel is their weakness... their 'disability.' And I'm certain we all have one, because I think of a disability as being anything which undermines our belief and confidence in our own abilities.

The legs that I have made are far more perfect than the ones nature would have given me - my mother's side of the family have awful legs.

Giving up is conceding that things will never get better, and that is just not true. Ups and downs are a constant in life, and I've been belted into that roller coaster a thousand times.

True beauty is when someone radiates that they like themselves.

Adversity isn't an obstacle that we need to get around in order to resume living our life. It's part of our life.
