Day 1611: Bridging the gap between who you are and who you want to be

Leave a reply

There will always be a gap between who you are and who you want to be all you can do is try to bridge that gap every day of your life – that’s what I realized this morning.

 

It’s 12 :  09 PM on day 1611 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth, pray,    read Jeremiah 28, publish my Disability of the Day feature,  learn one new thing – Skin contains pain and temperature receptors, which are only sensitive to extreme hot or cold. The brain experiences both these sensations in the same way. Therefore, very cold and hot temperatures cause the same kind of pain, and the brain has trouble distinguishing between the two  – feed myself egg with bread and a banana for breakfast and  promote my Educate Generations campaign – my dad can be so sweet sometimes he turned 52 today and he said he didn’t want to do anything but he  offered to make a donation to the campaign if I wanted (Happy Birthday Day Daddy you must be the most technologically savvy old person I know LOL) – and read Motivational Monday: Positive Mantra’s.

 

This morning I realized that there will always be a gap between who you are and who you want to be all you can do is try to bridge that gap every day of your life which works out perfectly for me because there are things about myself that I like and then there are things about myself that I absolutely hate which I try to work on every day I’m not perfect and I’m not trying to be I just want to be all of who I was meant to be. Do you try to bridge the gap between who you are and who you want to be every day of your life?

Day 1362: “Who You Are” by Jessie J

Don’t lose who you are in the blur of the stars!

Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,

It’s okay not to be okay.

Sometimes it’s hard to follow your heart.

Tears don’t mean you’re losing, everybody’s bruising,

Just be true to who you are!

– Jesse J, “Who You Are”

 

It’s 1  : 00 PM on day 1362 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, feed myself  oats and a peanut butter sandwich  for breakfast, read Psalm 49,  publish my Disability of the Day feature, promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – no donations so far today but I would like to thank Spur Steak Ranches, South Africa’s biggest and best steakhouse, for retweeting the tweet I sent them about my campaign (thank you Spur Steak Ranches for caring about more than just the bottom line) –     practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, stretch my hamstrings – today is very cold here which made my hamstring stretches more painful (my whole body gets sifter when it’s cold) my life is pain most days but I choose to be grateful for the fact that I’m alive – and  continue promoting my campaign – still no donations so far today but I’ll keep trying to raise $1000 for the Elton John Aids Foundation (UK) because I believe nobody should die of HIV/AIDS in this day and age. 

 

Yesterday I heard “Who You Are” by Jessie J I was really moved by the lyrics I think all of us can relate to this song because all of us, at one point or another, have left ourselves on the shelf and tried to be someone else. Listen to “Who You Are” by Jessie J below:
