Excuses Why You Can't Do Anything

Life is a real challenge when you have so many things to do in a day. What makes it worse is when you hear those negative voices ringing in our head, making excuses why you can't do things or get motivated.

What would you think if you heard someone speaking out loud those exact negative words that rattle around in your head making up excuses why:
  • you can't get out of bed
  • you can't go to school - YAY!!!   
  • you can't go to work
  • you can't go for a walk
  • you can't do this
  • you can't do that
  • blah! blah! blah! blah!!!

You know what I'm talking about.

How can you get motivated just to get out of bed and do just the simple things that need to be done in your day?

When Is A Disability Not A Disability

When you hear the term disability you may think of people who are unable to do activities or assimilate in society. A disability can be physical, intellectual, mental, visual and hearing impairments.

Disability is a negative word which focuses on the limitations of what a disabled person can't do.

This may lead to a negative perception of disabled people within the community due to misinformation. Unfortunately some people in the community may view disabled people as a burden on society and its economies.

The term disability, can also have a negative impact on a disabled person, where he/she may feel unwanted, dejected and may focus more on what they can't do, rather than what they can do.

This opens a discussion to the question When is a disability not a disability?
