R.Dinasky,
I appreciate your openness and unfiltered article here as I too, can relate! I highlighted also where you said “you understand it, because you’ve lived it!”
Why… because I to have a disability and understand, like you do, because I live with it every day, Also!
I have always wanted to write my story/my journey and have been told that I can help many people by doing so. However, I am not ready to quite pull the cover off yet as fear holds me back! Fear never used to hold me back it USED TO DRIVE ME! If me speaking on stage to 2000 plus people would give me a sense of fear, I would say to myself “You’ve got this, Now go show them who you are and teach what I know to them!” “GO GET EM”, I would say and on stage I went with EXCITEMENT, POWER AND PASSION!
However, once I became disabled 12 years ago, my life has completely changed but as I am able to walk again after using A Life Changing, All Natural and Non Toxic Supplements Line, that gave me my legs back in order to walk again 5 years ago. I still have a LOT to work on INSIDE of me! Getting back that Extreme Drive, Never ending passion, self-confident and not let ANY road blocks stop me from climbing my way up the corporate ladder until I reached the top! Where did she go!!!???
I work on this every day but the fear and self doubt is a bigger monster then me! Also I fear, that with some still prominent issues in my health, makes me think that I may not EVER be that ( SUPER STAR, SUPER MOTHER, and THE BEST WIFE any man could ask for; AGAIN!) I hate having this self doubt and fear and I only hope and pray that one day I can break through this self doubt and fear and become WHO I REALLY AM AGAIN!
I really appreciate your openness as I COMMEND you; That is something that I am not “there” yet; To open the shades and completely tell my story/journey! I am slowly coming out but that damn fear, I cannot overcome quite yet! I am working on it every day though. My biggest joy in life is helping others and as I’ve been told, that if I tell my story/journey, like I mentioned above, I could potentially help so many others get their health back too and that is what keeps me working on myself confidence and getting over this damn fear, EVERYDAY! I AM HAPPIEST WHEN I CAN HELP OTHERS! There it is! This is my WHY! This is what is going to keep me working on MYSELF and to bring back that “ Super Woman” that I used to be!
Once I can pull up the shades and expose myself completely, THAT, is what keeps me driving to get over this fear, so that I can help others and once I can help at least one person get their health back too…THEN, I will be a force to be reckoned with! And I/MYSELF who I truly am; WILL BE BACK!
