Day 1230: Ending up on top in spite of the odds

When you have a vision and are willing to work hard to make it a reality the odds don’t matter – that’s what I realized last night.

 

It’s 12  : 26 PM on day 1230 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  pray,  brush my teeth,  read 2 Chronicles 33,  publish my Disability of the Day feature, feed myself egg with bread for breakfast, go to the dentist – my gum hurt on the left side and my brother, my mom and the housekeeper said they saw a hole in one my teeth but I got in the dentist’s office he examined me, took a few x-rays and told me that I had no cavities talk about embarrassing – go with my my mom and brother to buy my brother a laptop  and  promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – no donations so far today.

 

Last night I said to my brother if 898 people donated $1 each I would reach my [Eradicate AIDS fundraising] goal by now to which he said what are the odds of that happening to which I said what were the odds of me building a well in Kenya, what were the odds of me raising a $1000 for Not For Sale, what were the odds of me  raising money for WFP [World Food Programme], what were the odds of me  raising money for bed nets [to prevent malaria] when you have a vision and are willing to work hard to make it a reality the odds don’t matter.  Are your odds of success of little significance to you because you have a vision and are willing to work hard to make it a reality?
