Societal Disability

You are more than your circumstances. The only disability that you have is the disability...or rather the inability to work at adapting to where you are and what you have been blessed with.

Yes there are people who will have more than you. Yes there are people who will be better than you. But nobody.... not even your mother who carried you inside her, nobody knows you better than you know yourself. Life may throw superficial knowledge at you and expect that you accept it as truth, someone may know how you like your coffee or your favourite flower, but none of them will have lived in your shoes or experienced what you experienced.

It is for this reason that you cannot allow anyone to make predictions on or direct YOUR life by what they feel or think. They are not you. I don't mean for you to tell your doctor that they are wrong and that your smoking habit is making you healthier as absurd as that example may be. But what i mean is that you alone determine where you end up in life, your attitude, your level of effort which you choose to put in.

My father always told me never to blame anyone else for my own mistakes or shortcomings, he'd say "if you were pulled over by a police man for speeding, you cannot moan about the person who was speeding in front of you and how they got away. You are the one who was caught and the act that someone else may have gotten away with what it is you were caught for does not detract from the fact that you had done something wrong."

The responsibility to succeed is yours and you cannot be trapped within your own mind or hold back your potential based on what the world tells you, you can and cannot achieve. Prove them wrong what could you possibly have to lose in proving someone wrong. 

As far as ability goes, no one can say they are disabled, merely too lazy to adapt to a world which was not designed for them, why limit yourself to what is already established when you can create so much more.
