The difference between success and failure is perseverance – that’s what I keep learning 🙂

It’s  3 : 53 PM on day 835 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to stretch my hamstrings, take off my t-shirt and put a new one on – I had a little help finding the left sleeve but for the first I put the right sleeve on by myself –  brush my teeth,   feed myself yogurt with fruits  for breakfast    prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands and practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles and continue reading Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom  – the book consists of life lessons Morrie – a terminally ill former professor – passes on to Mitch – his former student – some of the things Morrie said to Mitch made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up it’s the cruel irony of life that you figure out what life is all about just when you’re about to die.

This morning I was trying to take off my t-shirt many times I felt like quitting but every time I did I reminded myself that if I quit I would have already failed because of that eighteen minutes after I started I had taken off my t-shirt which made me realize that the only difference between those who fail and those who succeed is that those who succeed persevere when those who fail quit. Will you always succeed because you never quit or never succeed because you always quit?
