Discover Your Pioneer Spirit
America
was built by self-reliant, independent individuals who had the
tenacity to overcome any challenge. We, as people with disabilities,
need to focus on the positive aspects of our lives. We all have talents
in need of further development. With fierce tenacity, visualize
your own success and further develop one talent that you possess.
Utilize your skills to create your own independence.
Activities that yield
a measurable result are most desirable and inherently good. Two
examples are washing dishes and growing a small tomato plant. You
can experience these activities by seeing clean dishes, touching
the growing plant, tasting your tomatoes—even
hearing water washing over the dishes. Get involved, create something,
do something! Your pioneering efforts will create an unparalleled
feeling of self-satisfaction and tremendous accomplishment. ![]()
