Day 2931: The MAGIC of Life

The MAGIC of life lies in the appreciation of it – those who don’t appreciate life and those who no longer have life are no different– that’s what I’ve realized.

 

It’s 12 : 27 PM on day 2931 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, spent time outside,  read a Bible verse and do some work.

 

Every day I am reminded that the MAGIC of life lies in the appreciation of it – those who don’t appreciate life and those who no longer have life are no different I know people who are so downtrodden despite almost ideal life circumstances it’s like  their ingratitude makes them blind to their blessings which they might as well not have it saddens me deeply to see and hear people take for granted what others pray for

Day 2928: Say NO

Saying no is sometimes necessary and liberating – that’s what I’ve realized.

It’s 11 : 31 AM on day 2928 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, spent time outside,  read a Bible verse and do some work

 

Recently I realized that saying no is sometimes necessary and liberating I’m the only one who knows my limits so I have to set boundaries for the world and I’ve reached a point in my life where I no longer have any qualms about doing so.

Day 2927: September 17th – 24th Goals

Life is all about momentum – that’s what I’ve realized.

 

It’s 12 : 02 PM on day 2927 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, spend time outside and read a Bible verse and do some work

 

 

Last Monday I set some goals and today I will again be evaluating myself to measure my progress and I’ll be setting some goals for the coming week as well. Take a look:

Day 2926: Be kind TODAY Don’t Delay!

You can never do an act of kindness too early for you never know when it might be too late– that’s my message to the world.

 

It’s 1 : 08 PM on day 2926 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray,   read a Bible verse and do some work

 

Yesterday I was actually considering postponing doing an act of kindness until my Alive Day – the 22nd of every month is the anniversary of the contracture surgery I had in February 2018 I call it my Alive Day – but then I realized I’m alive today, today is also my Alive Day. Be kind TODAY don’t delay!

Day 2925: You Don’t Have to be Bill Gates To BE THE DIFFERENCE

The middle class is perfectly positioned to be the bridge between wealth and poverty – that’s what I’ve realized.

 

It’s 4: 20 PM on day 2925 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, ,  read a Bible verse, do some work and spent time outside

 

Today somebody said to me you’re not Bill Gates you can’t give so much but I don’t think you need to be Bill Gates to be the difference quite the contrary actually it’s the people with a lot of heart and not as many resources who move the world in the right direction every day. Do what you can where you are the time is always ripe to do right!

Day 2924: Be Audacious

Be audacious – that’s my message to the world

 

It’s 1 : 48 PM on day 2924 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, spent time outside,  read a Bible verse and do some work

 

Recently I realized that there’s something to be said for being audacious there’s something to be said for believing you can fly when you can’t walk, there’s something to be said for believing you can make a difference even when you yourself need help almost every moment…there’s something to be said for daring to believe you can be more than the world thinks you are.

Day 2922: Small Acts + Good Intent = Extraordinary Impact

Sometimes it’s the smallest things that take up the most space in your heart – that’s what I keep realizing

 

It’s 12 : 08 PM on day 2922 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, spent time outside,  read a Bible verse and do some work

 

Today I woke up to read the sweetest message from a friend I’m sure it didn’t cost her anything but it is something I will treasure forever. Let’s all be kind to one another it’s free and it feels oh so good.

Day 2916: Freedom

What people call you is their business and what you answer to is yours– that’s what I have realized

 

It’s 8: 01 PM on day 2916 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, spent time outside,  read a Bible verse and do some work

 

 

Yesterday I was having a bad day till I remembered that what people call me is their business and what I  answer to is mine – the space between stimuli and response is called Freedom.

Day 2915: Enjoying Every Season

Comparison dulls the colour of life – that’s what I have realized

 

It’s 11: 41 AM on day 2915 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, spent time outside,  read a Bible verse and do some work.

 

 

This morning sitting outside marvelling at the sheer beauty of Spring I wonder with dismay how I would ever enjoy nature in its other seasons again but I suppose in nature as in life every season has its own beauty and we should enjoy every season while it lasts.

Day 2913: September 3rd -10th Goals

A new week brings new opportunities be hopeful and kind – that’s my message to the world.

 

It’s 1 : 36 PM on day 2913 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse and do some work
