People are people not a means to an end – that’s what I have to keep reminding myself.

It’s 12  : 00 PM on day 1449 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed  to brush my teeth, pray, read Psalm 137,   feed myself a peanut butter sandwich and a banana for breakfast,  publish my Disability of the Day feature,  have a feet massage (to increase blood circulation to my feet), ask people to help out with my upcoming campaign, listen to music and hang out with my sister.

This morning I was thinking about my tendency to see people as a means to an end sometimes I meet people and interact with them genuinely knowing that someday they could help me with one of my philanthropic campaigns I hate this tiny part of me that has an ulterior motive when I interact with people I don’t want to become someone I hate trying to make a difference. Do you do whatever you need to do to reach your goals forgetting that people are people not a means to an end?
