The point is not to live forever it’s to stand for ideals and values that do – that’s my message to the world.
It’s 1 : 20 PM on day 2839 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse and do some work
The older I get the more I realize the importance of working on causes the results of which I may never see. The point of life is not immortality it’s to stand for the timeless ideals of freedom, justice and equality and to create something that will outlive us all.
Those born out of the fire don’t wilt in the sun – my mother’s words to me/Indian Proverb.
It’s 12 : 36 PM on day 2836 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray while sitting outside – there’s something about praying in the middle of the swirling wind that’s truly beautiful – the wind was unrelenting leaves were landing on my head and yet I sat there praying until I was done – m read a Bible verse, have breakfast and listen to music – I think I am going to pause from major fundraising projects for a while I refuse to do the first thing that comes along because I’m currently in-between (every project I do I do because I believe strongly about something and that’s what carries me through the rough days so I’ll never undertake a project because I’m bored or because I feel like I have to do something)
Today laying on my bed I remembered the cast being taken off my right arm and me wanting to bring it home so that I would have something to remember the experience by (my dad told the nurse to ignore me and trash it) I was annoyed it at the time but now I realize I didn’t need the cast because I will forever have my scars, a permanent reminder of my spirit unbreakable and my desire to live even while feeling immense pain.
Set goals, achieve them and repeat – that’s my message to the world.
It’s 12 : 48 PM on day 2835 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, and chill – i’m not so feeling hot

People are like Microsoft Windows – that’s what I realized.

Last night I realized people are like Microsoft Windows always going through long updates that at the time irritate but later we are grateful for all the advantages of the update.
Be persistent it might annoy people but you might also get what want– that’s my message to the world.

Yesterday a certain political party called once again to remind me that June 6th was the day of the by-election and although their frequent phone calls over the past weeks bordered on annoying I went to vote because I live in the knowledge that my vote was bought with the blood of many and I voted for said political party because I loved their persistence it reminded me of my own.
Take the risk and trust – that’s my message to the world

Recently some people broke my heart and they didn’t even know it and after that I thought ok well maybe it’s just easier if I assume everybody will disappoint me but I realize the danger in that is that my closed heart may drive people to do just that so instead of assuming everybody will disappoint me or that nobody will disappoint me I’ve decided to evaluate people on a case by case basis assuming some will, knowingly or otherwise, disappoint me. Take the risk and trust.
Only when we pause and reflect can we measure progress – that’s what I’ve realized

“When you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel.” – David D. Burns

Recently I’ve changed my perspective from thinking I’m living at other people’s mercy to I’m living in other people’s grace and that shift in thinking has made needing help a lot easier for me. The quality of your life is truly a reflection of the quality of your thoughts.
Kindness makes my day whether i’m on the giving or receiving end – that’s what I’ve realized.

Yesterday we received a notice from the Post Office saying there was a package for me (I love getting mail and guessing what it could be and who it could be from [I’m like a big kid]) so this morning my dad picked it up for me and it was books and a movie from my friend Julie in the USA with a sweet card attached (thanks so much Julie) I LOVE giving but today I was reminded that life is a balance of being a generous giver and a gracious receiver.
