Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. ~ Lao Tzu

It’s 6 : 31  PM on day 515 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, pray, read Genesis 26 as part of my ongoing quest to learn more about the Bible, work, drink tea by myself,  feed myself a mango pickle sandwich for breakfast,   work some more and go physiotherapy.

Yesterday I was watching an episode of Dr. Phil in which a ten-year-old girl said she wanted to have plastic surgery to look like Miley Cyrus and I was shocked because she was absolutely fine just the way she was I mean there’s nothing wrong with admiring celebrities but I think it is our responsibility to teach the children in our lives that being the best version of yourself is way better than being the copy of someone else. Do you wish you had someone else’s life because you see yourself as lacking in some way?
