The essence of our being should not be determined by illness, disability, or age but by the manner in which we elect to lead our lives.

Regardless of physical limitations, embracing a positive outlook and living life to the fullest is essential.

We overcome obstacles and achieve milestones by focusing on our abilities and strengths and learning all we can about our weaknesses: knowledge translates into power.

This mindset is particularly pertinent when our physical or mental state is vulnerable.

In such circumstances, perseverance, resilience, and determination are essential to make the most of our situation.

These qualities are crucial to overcoming the obstacles illness creates so we can emerge stronger from our experiences.
