Throughout my life, there was always someone in my life from whom I tried so hard to obtain approval or recognition. At this time of my life, I am finally free from all the meagerness.
Now it is time to accept who I am. Nobody is going to judge you or criticize you for what you believe and what you do.
The hindsight of this self-liberation is that now I have to assess what I am pursuing is what I genuinely want to do. Was I doing it to please someone else? Or is it my real need and desire? It is the time to evaluate my values and belief and reacquainted with who I am rather than who other people wanted me to be.
The journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance has just begun. I want to get to know me, want to love me, and accept me for who I am.
Most of us expect to live long, healthy lives. So when you re hit by a disabling injury or illness, it can trigger a range of unsettling emotions and fears. You may wonder how you ll be able to work, find or keep a relationship, or even be happy again. But while living with a disability isn t easy, it doesn t have to be a tragedy. And you are not alone. Millions of people have traveled this road before you (the CDC estimates that 1 in 5 Americans is disabled) and found ways to not just survive, but thrive. You can too.
