People won’t necessarily treat you the way you deserve to be treated and that’s okay but you have to hold yourself to a higher standard – that’s what I realized yesterday.

It’s 12  : 00 PM on day 1261 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray,  brush my teeth, feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast,   read Esther 5,  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 – 5 days and still no donations but two people did say they would donate this week  I guess I just have to be patient.

Yesterday I got into a heated exchange with someone and both of us said things we regretted looking back on it I am not proud of the person I turned into during that exchange so I have decided to hold myself to a higher standard and treat people better than they sometimes treat me people can call me names and say I do nothing all they like but I refuse to engage with them on that level it’s beneath me. Have you decided to hold yourself to a higher standard and treat people better than they sometimes treat you?

What happens to you can either make you bitter or better– that’s what I keep learning 🙂

It’s 12  : 19 PM on day 1044 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth, pray, read Judges 3,  feed myself  All Bran Flakes for breakfast,  publish my Disability of the Day feature,practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles,   take off my dirty jacket and t-shirt and put a clean t-shirt on,   tweet and Facebook about my campaign -no luck –    stretch my hamstrings, spend some time outside – sitting outside surrounded by nature I was grateful to be alive sure living with Cerebral Palsy is not the easiest thing in the world but at least I’m alive to make a difference in the world and enjoy beautiful blue sky days I know a lot of people would trade places with me even with my medical issues – and promote my campaign some more – still no luck I’m not going to give up I’m doing this to help people who have had their free will taken away from them.

Yesterday something happened to me (I won’t mention what because I don’t want to use this blog as a weapon to hurt people) that changed the way I saw people forever I will always remember what was done to me and try not to do the same to someone else the things that happen to you can either make you bitter or better and I choose to be better.   Are you bitter or better because of the things that have happened to you?
