Day 2430: No Skydiving For Me Ever

Leave a reply

Be flexible in your method but stay committed to your purpose  – that’s what I keep realizing.

 

It’s 11 : 35 AM on day 2430 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray,  have breakfast, read Proverbs 31: 10 and learn a new word – Definitions for sophistry
1. a subtle, tricky, superficially plausible, but generally fallacious method of reasoning.
2. a false argument; sophism.

 

Today my Orthopaedic Surgeon’s office called back answering the question I asked them about whether it would be safe for me to skydive and sadly the answer is no, under no circumstances needless to say I’m super-bummed about it but my goal in life is to make a difference and change perceptions about the differently-abled while having fun I can do that without jumping out of a plane I can do that by writing books, travelling, telling my story everywhere….I can do that just by being myself.

Day 2375: Flexible in Method

Leave a reply

All of us can do anything once we let go of wanting to do it like everybody else– that’s what I’ve realized.

 

It’s 11 : 14 AM on day 2375 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast, read Psalm 1: 1 and learn a new word – Definitions for code-switching
1. the modifying of one’s behavior, appearance, etc., to adapt to different sociocultural norms: For many female Muslim students, code-switching from their home environment to that of school requires forgoing the hijab.

 

This morning I realized that all of us can do anything once we let go of wanting to do it like everybody else does it I for the longest time wanted to do everything the way people who could walk did it and sometimes it still breaks my heart that I can’t but I have come to accept that if I am to live the full life that I want to live I have to be committed to my goals but flexible in my methods.

 

Day 2011: The “How” Also Matters

Leave a reply

How you choose to do things matters just as much as what you do– that’s my message to the world.

 

It’s 12 : 49 PM on day 2011 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read 1 Peter 4, have breakfast,  learn one new thing –The tides are due to the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the Earth. Because the gravitational force decreases as the distance squared, the part of the Earth that is closer to the Moon or the Sun is pulled a little extra and a bulge is created.– spend time outside -it’s such a beautiful day I feel blessed to be alive to see it -and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $3 337 only $2 913 more to raise by 10 Jan 2017  (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far :)  ).

 

Yesterday I wanted to do something and I knew of an easy way to do it but if I chose to do it that way I would have been using someone I care very deeply about so I chose not to do it that way because I believe how you choose to do things matters just as much as what you do I’m going to achieve all my goals but I’m determined to do it without lying, cheating, stealing or using anyone.
