Our Thoughts
Published by

Let's get to the elephant first: I have myotonic dystrophy which defines my physical limitations, but it does not define me. Without the distraction of physical activities, I have found my passions: (1) Encouraging others to live more fully with fun, faith, and hope; (2) finding freedom in oil painting; (3) writing about my experiences; and (4) encouraging others to live more passionately. It is my belief that every person lives with at least one disability - for impairments are not limited to those with chronic illnesses. Many neurotypical people are psychological architects who have constructed enclosures in which they trap themselves. Mindsets, attitudes, and perceptions are fluid realities. Many of us have forgotten that it is possible how to live beyond our disabilities. Life may have challenges but faith and hope are within reach. I have made my choice: I am LivingFreeWithdisAbilities. View all posts by Rose Wolfe (Living Free with disAbilities)

Intriguing. I’m going to have to let that idea percolate for awhile. I’m trying to find the lead up thought to grasp this.

So often, we let our thoughts have rule over our emotions. If we were to employ a more humble attitude about ourselves and a more compassionate attitude toward others, we would find less of which to complain about and rail against.

Putting the desire to understand the other person rather than being blinded by our own needs and desires (emotional reflex) lands us in a place of compassion and empathy.
