Don't be afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact. The barrier between you and success is not something which exists in the real world. It is composed simply of doubts about your ability. Your only limits to your realization of tomorrow will be your doubts of today.
Success is a state of mind.
If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success. What you believe yourself to be, you are. I am a 32 year old paraplegic, mother of 3 small children, business owner, taxpayer, and otherwise completely independent person. I resent action of any kind that threatens to limit my independence as a person living and functioning with a disability. We, as Americans, have come so far in our plight to allow access to all individuals and I truly believe that allowing greyhound to continue to treat disabled passengers as a 'problem' is taking the ADA back 20 years.
