My 500 Words: A Writing Challenge - Day 2
What am I thankful for today? I am thankful for the ability to move. Everyone comes to a crossroads at some point or another. A time where you keep moving forward or you stay where you are and die. People are always trying to impose the limits they see with their eyes onto you - or me. They look at you physically and say, "You can't do this. It is not possible." Or they say, "You are not smart enough." What they don't see is the fire inside you. That flame doesn't go out when the pressure comes. It just grows brighter, pushing you onward to greatness. I refuse to listen to the naysayers. The only person I am in competition with is myself. How much I do or how far I go in anything isn't determined by my size or race. It is determined by my inner strength. When someone says I can't go ten steps, I will go twelve. If I stopped making progress just because someone else thought it would lead to my disaster, I would never do anything.
