A DISABILITY doesn’t define your capability to achieve your dreams, only your mindset, desire, & commitment 🙂

2024/2/22 Edited to

Having a disability can present unique challenges, but it's essential to remember that it doesn’t define who you are or what you can achieve. A positive mindset can significantly transform your approach to life’s hurdles. It’s not merely about overcoming physical barriers; it's about fostering resilience, cultivating a strong inner drive, and nurturing an unwavering commitment to your goals. Many successful individuals with disabilities have shared their inspiring journeys, showcasing how their mindset played a pivotal role in their success. For instance, renowned figures like Helen Keller and Stephen Hawking have turned their challenges into motivation, breaking stereotypes and achieving greatness. Engaging in a community that fosters support and empowerment can also enhance your journey. Surrounding yourself with encouraging individuals, resources, and organizations can boost your morale. Moreover, setting realistic yet ambitious goals can help highlight your capabilities beyond disabilities. Track your progress, celebrate small victories, and continually strive for improvement. Online resources, workshops, and mentorships are available to assist you in building skills and confidence. Remember, achieving your dreams is possible, and every step taken towards them is a testament to your strength and determination.

Disability doesn't have a look 🤍

In June of 2024, I suffered my 7th traumatic brain injury 🧠 and I've officially spent more of the year in hospitals 🏥 than outside of them, which is truly heartbreaking to see the numbers in real time. I am so grateful for the Guava App for helping me navigate all of these appointments and hold

Chronic pain and disability is a challenge I don't wish on anyone. It is so hard

Chronic pain and disability is a challenge I don't wish on anyone. It is so hard to stay positive during flareups especially as someone already prone to depression. Making #nailart has been a gentler process than my usual #3Dart so it's been fun making some press-on sets for myself.

✨Disability Policies📌

Y’all… if you got hurt tomorrow, your job’s disability would NOT replace your full paycheck. Most short-term and long-term disability policies only pay about 50–60% of your income. So if you make $4,000 a month… you might only get about $2,000–$2,400. But guess what doesn’t drop by 40%? 🏠 M

A puppy wearing an orange bandana and leash stands outdoors, with text overlay 'Obedience vs Task Training' highlighting the article's theme about service dogs.

A puppy sits next to a blanket, illustrating the definition of 'Obedience' as basic manners like sit, down, stay, and heel, which form a dog's foundation.

A person with a service dog wearing a vest demonstrates 'Tasks,' which are trained work to help a person with a disability, such as guidework or medical alerts.

Good obedience doesn’t make your dog a service dog

A well-trained dog with good manners is wonderful, but obedience alone doesn’t make a service dog. Here’s the difference: ✨ Obedience = sit, stay, heel, down. These skills create a calm, polite dog that can handle distractions in public. They’re important, but they don’t qualify a dog as a
