Struggling against the conditions
My question for you today:
Would you let it stop you?
Would you even know?
If you were a guitarist/lead singer in a band, and looking for another guitarist…would you take one on that was hearing impaired?
If you were the editor for a major publication…would you hire a writer that was dyslexic?
If you were looking for a programmer to develop code…would you contract one that was autistic?
If you were wanting some photography done for your event…would it make a difference if you found out he was color blind?
All the colors of winter.
Would you let it stop you?
Would you even know?
What if I told you the first three mentioned actually exist and are highly accomplished. Don’t believe me…that’s what google is for.
Did they struggle?
Of course they did. They not only fought against their own physical differences, but self-doubt and the prejudice of others. They fought, they perserved, they succeeded. They continue to succeed.
So…where are you at? Do you have something that you’ve wanted to do all your life but believed you couldn’t accomplish it because of (insert impairment here)?
If you were born without lower legs, would your dream be to run track in college and the Olympics? Why not? It’s been done before.
God doesn’t give you what you have to set boundaries for you. It’s not a box, a perimeter, a fence of which you cannot cross.
Pristine texture.
What you have is what you make of it.
If I had a dream of being a painter because I yearned to express image and emotion with oil and canvas – but I was born without the ability to see colors – should I let a dream die because “painters should be able to see color”.
Really?
Deterioration
They should see colors according to whom?
Others that see color according to what is normal?
Other painters?
Why not set the world on fire with how you see color?
Let others take a step back from the norm and see the other side.
Fighting the elements
Step away from the crowd and head in a different direction. A path that is overgrown, thorny, and troublesome. Arrive at corner of the world that no one else has seen. Set yourself apart. Make it yours. Let others see what you have found. Inspire the rest.
Being different is what has created something from nothing. Overcoming obstacles is what has changed the world for the better.
