Each and every non-disabled person on this planet is just one illness or injury away from becoming disabled.
Let that sink in.
Let that now change your ableist attitude to be just a wee more empathetic toward disabled people, because you too can become one of us at any time.

On Humility
'accept contradictions and correction cheerfully.
pass over the mistakes of others.
accept insults and injuries.
accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked.
be kind and gentle even under provocation.
Never to stand on one's dignity.
choose always the hardest.'

Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi studied how people have “optimal experiences.” He called it Flow: “when a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult & worthwhile.”
Flow is active experience: it gives life meaning & pleasure.

The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times… The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.

“We must travel in the direction of our fear.”
“I cry. Evil dissolves, & love, like foam;
that love. Prattle of children powers me home,
my heart claps like the swan’s
under a frenzy of who love me & who shine.”
“That is our ‘pointed task. Love & die.”
