"Disabled" people are starting to show the world that "disability does not mean inability". Growing up with a disability, my goal has always been... if others think I can't do it, I do it anyway!! If fear strikes me I do it anyway!! Because my disability does not define me!
From the time I was a child I was told by peers and teachers that I would not accomplish much. One teacher actually told me "Zach, the chances of you doi much are very small.. you are better off just ping to a trade school."
What?
See here is where I draw the line. I have never been mad about my hand, heck I am never even mad when people ask about m hand. I love to share my story, in hopes I can motivate someone! BUT don't ever tell me I CAN'T do something! Because I will either prove you wrong or die trying!
I look at my hand and I know there are people out there that has it worse off, thy are accomplishing things I could never dream of accomplishing! That s what pushes me! It pushes me to the extreme! I have climbed mountains, done crossfit, I can type over 100 words a minute. I can play guitar, and so much more!
If anyone ever tells you.. you can't do something because of who you are. Stop them in the tracks smile and say "you wanna bet.. better take a seat. I am about to take you to school!" :)
You are the only one that can determine what you can and can not do! I suggest you put in your mind that you can do anything!! ANYTHING! You are alive and breathing!! Stop sitting around and move!
God Bless and have a great week! :)

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as
[steemit](https://steemit.com)Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it..
