“I have a disability — I can’t see,” says Randy Pierce. “We all have disabilities, things that we can’t do. I think it’s so much more important to put the focus of our lives on things we can do. And if something is important enough to you, I say anything is possible, you’re just going to have to problem-solve and persevere to get there.”
We all have flaws, imperfections, weaknesses...call them what you will. Some of us use our disabilities as an excuse for not living life to the fullest. They hold us back from being our optimal selves. Sometimes our disabilities are physical, but often they are psychological. Previous life circumstances may have scarred us, or we may have received negative messages in our youth that are difficult to undo in our adulthood.
What are the things that are holding you back from living your life to the fullest? Honestly answer this sentence, "I really want to do (your dream), but my (disability) is prohibiting me from doing so. Often our biggest disability is fear. Moving forward from our disabilities may be a challenge for some. If you need some assistance, consider working with a therapist, life or career coach who will be able to help you to address your fears and focus on your abilities. Life is too precious to waste by not living it to our fullest potential.
