When disease took my legs, I eventually realized I didn't need them to lead a full, empowering life; Only True Disability Is in Our Mind.

We can either see our circumstances as a set of random cruelties and then allow those hardships to turn us into bitter victims; or we can recognize the fact that, though we may never comprehend why hard things happen, they do, and when they do, we can reach for a larger purpose beyond the pain.

We live as if we know how everything will turn out. I certainly lived that way. But we don't know anything. Really, we don't.

Instead of looking at our challenges and limitations as something negative or bad, we can begin to look at them as blessings, magnificent gifts that can be used to ignite our imaginations and help us go further than we ever knew we could go.

We all have disabilities. Just some are more visible than others. We all have challenges, we all have obstacles

It's not about breaking down borders. It's about pushing off of them, and seeing what amazing places they might bring us.

You don't always have to have the most amazing story. It's learning to share the story you have that counts.
