Day 2495: The True Meaning of Patience

Patience is waiting expectantly with a good attitude – that’s what I have learned.

 

It’s 11 : 29 AM on day 2495 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Deuteronomy 30:19, have breakfast and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet –   Meg Guegan donated $25 (thanks so much to her) which brings the total raised to $1 775 only $10 725 more to raise  by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot

 

Yesterday I learned that patience is not just waiting but rather patience is waiting expectantly with a good attitude.

 

Day 1793: Patience and Me

)When struggling to be patient remind yourself that you’re not the centre of the universe – that’s my message to every impatient person out there.

 

It’s 12 : 46 PM on day 1793  of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,  pray, read Matthew 25,    publish my Disability of the Day feature,    learn one new thing –To defend their territories and attract a mate, bald eagles put on spectacular aerial displays including death-defying swoops and seemingly suicidal dogfights that involve locking talons with another bird and free-falling in a spiral. – have breakfast and  promote my Educate Generations campaign – $3 441 raised so far (so grateful thanks everyone 🙂 ) .

 

This morning I was thinking about patience and me patience is not exactly one of my strong suits (I hate waiting for things to happen) but recently when I was frustrated waiting for something to happen I reminded myself that I wasn’t the centre of the universe and just accepted that I had to wait shockingly I didn’t feel so impatient anymore I think from now onwards whenever I feel impatient I’ll do the same thing.

Day 1596: Patience and Me

“Patience is a virtue, and I’m learning patience. It’s a tough lesson.” – Elon Musk

 

It’s 12 : 00 PM on day 1596 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,  pray,  read Jeremiah 13, publish my Disability of the Day feature,  learn one new thing – The fastest two-legged creature on Earth is the ostrich, which can reach 45 mph over short distances. –     promote my Educate Generations campaign– on $1 630 things could be a lot worse- feed myself egg with bread for breakfast and continue promoting my campaign – still on $1 630 and I’m still grateful 🙂

 

Today I realized I still have a long way to go when it comes to being a patient person I hate waiting for anything which makes me seem spoilt and entitled but to my credit these days I do make an effort to be patient.

Day 1259: A Lesson in Patience by Cerebral Palsy

Having Cerebral Palsy teaches you patience – that’s what I realized today.

 

It’s 12  : 15 PM on day 1259 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth, pray,   read Esther 2, publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature,   feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast, promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – nobody donated so far today either – and watch the South Africa vs. Australia Cricket test match.

 

This morning I realized having Cerebral Palsy teaches you patience because I can’t do some things without help I’ve had to learn to wait for people to come and help me sure it’s frustrating sometimes I think if I could do this myself I would be done by now but it’s a small price to pay to learn patience. Have you learned unexpected lessons from your greatest challenges?

Day 1096: Put others before yourself

Put others before yourself– that’s what Cerebral Palsy is teaching me 🙂

 

It’s 1  : 25 PM on day 1096 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  pray, brush my teeth,   read 1 Samuel 30, publish my Disability of the Day feature,  feed myself a boiled egg and Bran Flakes for breakfast,   tweet about my campaign – I didn’t surpass my goal so far today but i’ll keep trying 🙂 – take off my dirty turtleneck and t-shirt  and put on a clean t-shirt and hoodie – you might be wondering why I mention doing “simple things” like taking off my turtleneck it’s because things like that are the hardest things to do when you have Cerebral Palsy I am so proud of myself every time I manage to change by myself it’s actually ridiculous – and get my hair washed.

 

This morning I woke up needing to go to the bathroom but I saw that everybody was still sleeping so I decided to wait does it suck that I have to do things on everybody else’s schedule of course it does but I’m willing to wait because I know that the world doesn’t revolve around me so often in life we become so self-centred that we forget that other people have needs too.  Are you learning to put others before yourself?
