Success is following your dreams– that’s what I keep learning 🙂

It’s 1  : 25  PM on day 1028 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray,   brush my teeth, take off my dirty hoodie and t-shirt and put on a clean -t-shirt – our new weekend housekeeper cracks me up she looks at me after I changed my clothes with great difficulty and says rather matter-of-factly you make things difficult for yourself she’s right it would be easier for me to ask someone to change my clothes for me but I decided a long time ago that I would rather have a hard, independent life than an easy, dependent life –    feed myself  a boiled egg and All Bran Flakes for breakfast, read Joshua 11, publish my Disability of the Day feature,  publish my Kid of the Week feature,  play catch outside with my brother – while playing catch my brother says let’s take a break to which I say no, I want to play and he says look [at the scenery] with your heart and not your eyes I was blown away keep in mind the kid is only 12 🙂 –   tweet and Facebook about my campaign – still no luck -and  practice typing with both hands.

Yesterday afternoon I was thinking about success and what it means to be successful in my community success is growing up, going to school, going to university, getting a well-paying job, getting married to a suitable guy, having a couple of kids and living happily ever after success for me is getting up every day and trying to make a difference and by that definition I’m extremely successful.  Have you created your own definition of success and are you successful according to that definition?
