Day 1185: How Nelson Mandela continues to influence my life

People you have never met can influence you in more ways than you ever thought – that’s what I keep realizing.

 

It’s 12  : 47 PM on day 1185 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  pray,  brush my teeth, feed myself Bran Flakes and boiled egg for breakfast, read 1 Chronicles 18,  publish my Disability of the Day feature,    practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, stretch my hamstrings  and hang out with my family.

 

Last night somebody was being particularly unforgiving and I couldn’t help thinking about Nelson Mandela he forgave the people who put him in jail for 27 years and we hold onto petty things from today onwards whenever I think I can’t forgive someone I will think of Nelson Mandela coming out of jail prepared to forgive his jailers. Have you been influenced by people you’ve never met?
