Require more from yourself than the world requires from you – that’s my message to differently-abled people.

It’s 12  : 00 PM on day 1344 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray,  read Psalm 31, feed myself bran flakes for breakfast,   publish my Disability of the Day feature,      practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, stretch my hamstrings and  promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – still on $802.85 but the day isn’t over yet.

This morning I realized I am who I am because of the people who expect nothing from me it sounds like a strange thing to say but it’s true because I know that all most people expect from me is to sit around and watch TV all day I am determined to do anything but. Do you require more from yourself than the world requires from you?
