There are millions of Physically handicapped individuals who, because of their society's concept of potential, have resigned themselves to a life of self-pity, depression, and isolation. there are many who have confused their bodies with their bodies with their true selves. they have mistaken the "House" for the "resident".
But history gives ample evidence of thousands who have freed themselves of the myth that their bodies should dictate their true potential.
Helen Keller refused to be blinded by others' opinions of her ability - she changed the attitude of the world. Sir Winston Churchhill refused to be muted by his speech impediment and physical handicap - while a member of the British Parliament and later the prime minister of Britain, he delivered some of history's most life-changing orations.
What is your handicap? is it a wheelchair, the socio-economic status of your family, the colour of your skin? Are you disabled by divorce, incest, or child abuse? Whatever your perceived handicap, you must never allow your true potential to become a victim of the limitations of your physical body or your environment. Reach beyond your grasp. Your body is not your full potential. Selah.
