Don't let it get to you.

Sometimes it is hard to move on when you have so many negative talks going on about you, rejections, lack of opportunities because you have something that looks like a challenge to others but which you have choose not to see as a problem.

After watching two movies that have to do with Tourette syndrome I concluded that you can become whatever you want to be in life as long as you are determined and focused, the storylines of both movies are almost the same and I love the fact that the message in both is clear. I once wrote an article emphasizing the fact that conditions only become a disability when we choose to accept that we can't make any good with it out of life, but pressing forward with whatever condition you've got makes you special, it makes you unique and a source of inspiration to so many people who might also experience such condition now or even years after we are done in the world.

The first day I stumbled on Nicholas James Vujicic's story I said to myself George you aren't doing anything in life because I felt like how can a man without limbs be this famous and successful while I am struggling to fulfill the smallest portion of my dreams. I said to myself, I have hands, legs and can move around as I wish, it is the other way around for him but I was mistaken because the thing I see as a challenge for him was his greatest inspiration and that is how it ought to be in life, that thing the world tag as your disability should be your biggest motivation.

It doesn't have to be about your physical look there are a lot of things people can assume to be a condition, it can be health and even financial ability. They because of that particular thing separate you from other people in the society, what goes up in their head is like he or she with that condition can't live like them or do the things that they do.

It is wrong for you to set a limit for yourself just because of what people think about you, I remembered when I was in the Polytechnic. We had this group of friends (we were very broke), I can't count the number of times we were walked out of the lecture hall because we couldn't afford a handout, we go on hanging around students who have personal computers so that we can do assignments and other stuff. Our exams are the worst, we were always allowed in late after going through the head of the department promising when we were going to pay our tuition fee.

Just because of the experience, someone once said to my face that "is it a must that everyone must go to school? Why don't you do something else then return to school later? I felt bad but it never took me down.

The things we were mocked for inspired us to be hungry for success, one of us dropped out to be a navy officer and he is happy today. The rest of us fought through and while most of us graduated with an upper credit, one of us graduated with a distinction.

It is okay for them to think you are this and that but that shouldn't prevent you from shooting every shot you've got at becoming whatever it is you have been aspiring to be in life.

You will be turned down, you will be deprived of opportunities, people will a lot of silly things about you, they will say your conditions to your face because they think you can't get anywhere with it but that's not the case, only you can stop yourself from achieving whatever it is you have in mind.

Your life is yours and it would be unwise to allow people to get into your head, you have to be in control all the time because that's how you can get results.

A friend on the platform just moved into her beautiful home, I can confidently say that a lot of people around her would not have believed she would be able to achieve such by now because they see challenges while she sees it as a reason to become successful in life.

Even the Bible states that everything that God created was good, you are God's creation which makes you perfect. No matter what your challenge is, it is there to make your life more beautiful and not to make it a tragedy but whichever you let happen will be about how you have handled your challenges as a disability or an inspiration to be great in life.

Coping with it at first might be difficult but the moment you embrace it, you will begin to see the world from a different perspective.
