Replace envy with gratitude and your whole life will change– that’s my message to the world.
It’s 12 : 45 PM on day 2958 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, spend time outside, read a Bible verse and do some work
Yesterday I decided that every time I felt envy I would replace envy with gratitude because I know that although there’s a lot I yearn for I am aware of the fact that what I have is what some people pray for.
I’m going to be alright in this world– that’s what I’ve realized

Yesterday while thinking about all the people who have graciously stepped up to help me during moments that I’ve lacked the ability to do something I realized that I’m going to be alright in this world because there really are more good people than bad in this world.
It’s okay not to have all the answers– that’s what I’ve realized

This morning I found myself thinking I want to be kind but how am I supposed to do it from inside this house – my parents have work 5 days a week I don’t expect them to drop everything to chauffeur me around – I know I want to live a life of positive impact, kindness and love but at this precise moment I’m a little lost as to how to go about that I hope inspiration strikes me soon meanwhile I’ll be working.
The only people who don’t have ups and downs are dead people – that’s what I want the work to know.
It’s 10 : 10 AM on day 2955 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray read a Bible verse and spend time with family and do some work.

It’s never too late to correct one’s mistake– that’s what I’ve realized
It’s 2 : 42 PM on day 2954 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, go to church, spend time outside and do some work.
This morning I noticed a homeless man on the church steps and although I rolled past him both on my way in and out I couldn’t forget about this man so I emailed the reverend asking if we could help this man and the reverend replied thanking me for my concern and saying the man got lots of money from the congregants and that he’s fine for today promising to keep an eye on the homeless man I’m so glad I emailed otherwise my failure of kindness would have kept me awake tonight
The challenges we go through make us grateful for that which we would have otherwise taken for granted – that’s what I’ve realized

Last night I slept really well and nowadays I’m grateful for that because I still remember the days following my surgery a few months ago when I couldn’t put my arm down on the bed while I slept because it hurt so bad. Every day I’m grateful for the little-big-things because I’ve had to fight for and through everything it’s not a complaint just a fact.
The fact that I have Cerebral Palsy will seldom be separated from that which I do– that’s what I’ve realized
It’s 1 : 55 PM on day 2951 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, spend time outside – I saw many black birds flying together it was so awesome – read a Bible verse and do some work
Recently I find myself thinking why can’t the world just mention the work I do without highlighting that I have Cerebral Palsy? I do realize that my story is made more awesome because I am a differently-abled aspiring humanitarian, that is my point of difference, but still when I’m working to help others and the focus is still on my challenges it’s immensely frustrating I hope there will come a day when my work can be the only thing highlighted about my life but until that day comes I’m grateful that being me with Cerebral Palsy has given me platforms to champion the causes I causes I care about.
The scars we carry are a reminder of all the different ways we are capable of hurting people but shouldn’t – that’s what I’ve realized.
It’s 1 : 00 PM on day 2950 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, spend time outside – I saw a small bird up close it was so cute it made my day – read a Bible verse and do some work.
This morning sitting under a tree I realized that the scars we carry are a reminder of all the different ways we are capable of hurting people but shouldn’t I know the power of words because of the ways in which they have been used to hurt me so now I’m careful to speak words of kindness as much as possible. The scarless are careless because they don’t know the effects of cruelty in word and deed I am grateful for my scars they have taught me how not to be in this world.
If you’re determined to have a good day nothing can get in your way – that’s my message to the world.
It’s 9 : 48 AM on day 2949 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray read a Bible verse and do some work
Today I made a decision that today and every day no matter what comes my way I’m going to have good days I’m not saying it will be easy life happens and people are sometimes cruel but through it all I can be determined that every day will be a good day.
Have goals and go after them but it’s also important to remember life happens in between goals – that’s my message to the world.
It’s 1 : 53 PM on day 2948 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray read a Bible verse and spend time with family and friends.
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:
