Inspiration and Hope

September 6, 2022

Often life forces US TO ADJUST. HAVING PROBLEMS DO NOT MAKE SOMEONE “ A PROBLEM “. THEY CAUSE US TO MAKE CHANGES IN OUR LIVES AND DAILY HABITS. THESE THINGS ARE NOT NAILS IN A DECREPIT COFFIN, BUT WHOLLY SURMOUNTABLE ODDS .THEY ALLOW US TO BECOME LIKE THE PHOENIX AND RISE FROM THE ASHES TO WHICH WE BELIEVE WE ARE DAMNED. THEY GRANT US AN OPPORTUNITY UNKNOWN TO MANY. RARELY IS POSITIVE SEEN IN FACING ODGs. IF YOU ARE SO AFFLICTED; REALIZE THIS:YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY YOUR SITUATION
YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A GIFT. A CHANCE TO BE A BEACON OF HOPE; TO BE AN INSPIRATION.EVERYONE HAS A CHOICE. EITHER LET YOUR SITUATION MAKE YOU A STATISTIC IN A MEDICAL JOURNAL OR FACE YOUR ODDS WITH DIGNITY AND GRACE. THIS IS A DECISION WE EACH MAKE FOR OURSELVES. WE ARE FORCED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN “IMPOSSIBLE” AND “CAN’T” AND “POSSIBLE” AND “CAN”. WE ARE BLESSED. WE HAVE A CHANCE TO SHOW OTHERS WE ARE NOT A NUMBER ON A GRAPH. WE ARE FRIENDS, FAMILY MEMBERS.., HUMAN BEINGS. PERHAPS DO NOT PERFORM AS OTHERS. WE ARE STILL MEMBERS OF THE HUMAN RACE. WE FIND OUR STRENGTHS: STRENGTH IS NOT SIMPLY FOUND IN WHAT IS COMMONLY THOUGHT.

I have dealt with much in my life, but in the end I am only myself.) I have dealt with mental illness, physical disabilities, substance abuse , eating disorders, self mutilation, and on. Life is what you make it; I want to inspire people to have courage and be themselves in this world: regardless ofsex,religion, political, age, ethnicity, mental or physical state,ETC. Differences make us who we are, Nothing about an individual makes them “lesser”. I fight stereotypes on a daily basis; I find myself wiser now that I do not let society dictate my value. Know yourself and be confident in the wonder that is you. I created my page to inspire others and Impart my experiences in the hope that it may brighten and lend a sense of hope.
