A little education

A post courtesy of Instagram. Irony isn't lost on me. I saw a quote that God put there for my consumption. "Once you accept your limits, you go beyond them." Albert Einstein. I finally get it. Cerebral Palsy has done the biggest damage on my head. Folks, my mindset was beyond skewed. I've been my own worst enemy. It's only very recently that once I started accepting my limits, that I'm seeing what is possible. I've spent my life conforming to the world knowing it could never understand me. I don't come perfectly packaged in a bow tied box. I spent my life praying for something God would never give me. Life is uncomfortable. It's messy. Everyday is an exercise in knowing the fight will continue for basic decency. Fighting to see the good and choose joy.

Be kind

Disability prepares you for the cruelest of life lessons. 

Your body will betray you well before gray hairs appear. 

The simple tasks will be the hardest to perform

Your worth will always be questioned

You will need help...ask for it sooner

Your pride will take more hits than a boxer's right hook

There are more...but there not fit for publish. 

Be kind. There are battles I never wished to fight.

Thought

Thank you Steven Furtick. Getting real honest. I am wondering if the "normal" image I so sought to project as a child was the right move. Because now I am dealing with Cerebral Palsy rearing its ugly head in more ways than one. And when you have tried to be normal for so long, now asking for help has been more frustrating than ever.  And when you feel like when one can't see your disability it gets harder to explain why you need help.
Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's there.
