Some of the most disabled people that I have ever come across in my life were not ill, had both legs, both arms, were in their right state of mind and to look at them close up, had nothing that would have denoted them as disabled at all.
However, when it came to dealing with the day to day life issues that face us all, they were totally and completely dysfunctional.
The fact is this: to have a disability does not necessarily mean that you have a physical incapacity or even a mental incapacity.
It’s more a matter of the heart and the soul of the individual.

Persistence paves the pathway to a productive life. Without it you will never proceed beyond the highway called mediocrity. For the path of the persistent is only for the few, whereas mediocrity highway is traveled by many. But they who travel that way will never reach the mountain top and never experience the exhilaration of standing on top of Mount Vision and Mount Destiny.
However, the road of persistence can at times turn into a track and can even in some places disappear before your very eyes. And it is at that point that you must look up beyond the jungle that lies before you and see your mountain top destination.

For that is where the momentum kicks in and where all the ducks line up in a row, where the divine appointments and the favorable situations appear, as if magically in your life.
A vision emits a magnetic force. Money is drawn to a dynamic vision. All sorts of resources avail themselves to the man or woman of vision. The red carpet is rolled out for the one who has vision. Oh certainly, that red carpet is not entirely smooth, and many fulfilled visions require the traversing of many mountains and many valleys along the way. But vision causes the owner of that vision to not dwell on the current valley experience, but rather to have their eyes firmly fixed on the next mountain peak that stands waiting patiently and expectantly on life’s horizon - beckoning the visionary to scale its heights.
