Handicapped? Where? In body or mind?

Disability is a state of mind. In many people is an excuse or an escape mechanism...It gives a reason which will be accepted by others and so you have a reason not to stress yourself. Read the following quote and the video clipping.

Robert Michael Hensel was born with Spina bifida. He is also a Guinness World Records holder for the longest non-stop wheelie in a wheelchair, covering a total distance of 6.178 miles.
• Limitations only go so far.
• Know me for my abilities, not my disability.
• I don't have a dis-ability, I have a different-ability.
• Go ahead and label me, cause labels are made for gifts.
• My disability has opened my eye's to see my true abilities.
• When everyone else says you can't, determination says,"YES YOU CAN."
• There is no greater disability in society, than the inability to see a person as more
• I have a Disability yes that's true, but all that really means is I may have to take a slightly different path than you.
• As a disabled man, let my life be a reflection of the endless amount of ability that exists in each and everyone of us.
• We, the one's who are challenged, need to be heard. To be seen not as a disability, but as a person who has and will continue to bloom. To be seen not only as a handicap, but as a well intact human being.
• It takes an open minded individual to look beyond a disability, and see, that ability has so much more to offer, than the limitations society tries to place upon them. - Robert M. Hensel

32 / 365   Build a Healthy Personality

Clothes and manners do not make the man; but, when he is made, they greatly improve

his appearance.

 Henry Ward Beecher

Have you thought about your external personality as seen by others?     We are being observed by others and we create an image about ourselves. Image is an important parameter for success. Recently, image and impression consulting has become a lucrative profession. They advise you how you should behave, what and how you should dress, what and how to talk to others etc., which go a long way in projecting your image.

Think about the following parameters with respect to your personality:

·         Your dress – do you dress to the occasion? Is it neat and clean, without stains? Are they wrinkled?

·         Your teeth – are there stains?

·         Your shoes – when did you last polish?

·         Your nails – are they neatly cut?

·         Do you have bad breath? Others may feel embarrassed to tell this to you!

·         Your hairstyle? Do you look haggard?

·         When eating, do you burp? While sipping a tea or coffee, do you make a sound?

·         When you speak, are you too loud or too low?

From today, notice these aspects of your external personality!

30 / 365  Mind Your Facial Expression

God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.

William Shakespeare

Face is the index of your mind. How do you present yourself to others? How is your facial expression? What feelings does it reflect? Only the human beings have the rare gift of conveying something through their mere facial expression!

I have come across people who convey happiness, excitement, enthusiasm, energy etc. in their face. These people electrify others by their very presence. I have also come across people who carry a depressed, sad, unhappy, irritated and timid face. They destroy the enthusiasm of others around them. The third category is expressionless faces!   When you speak to them, you will not know if they are listening to you at all!

Have you ever thought where you belong to in the above three types?   We are not alone in this world.  We are surrounded by people.  How we present ourselves to others will decide the quality of our interpersonal relationship.  Your facial expression conveys something very important about your internal personality. In fact your facial expression conveys how you feel inside.

From today, resolve to carry a pleasant and enthusiastic facial expression. Initially you may find it difficult. Anything is possible if you understand why you need it.
