My name is Bryan. I have a disability.

Its not my fault. I just am ...

I do not look like normal. But what is normal? ...

I dream. I hope. I have plans. I have goals.

Isnt that normal? Or is it?

I dont lie. I dont cheat. I dont steal. Now thats not normal.

I dont try to deceive. I dont put on an act. I just try to be me.

Maybe Im not normal. Im not perfect. Who is?

I look different. Doesnt everyone? I dont get it. Do you?

What is normal? I just am.

Jeff Hodges

I was told at one time in life that I had to let go of my past, of the life I had lived as a hustler, swindler, and thief. People told me that, when I spoke about that time, when I told my many stories, it sounded as if I was almost glorifying that period, as if I missed that life. And I guess that sense of adventure, of living on the edge, used to haunt me, calling me back even.

But you cant go back. You can pretend its all cool, that youre not affected by the madnessand then one day youre in a park and the bullets fly and people you knew well begin to die.

Derek Doepker

At this point in time, its hard to even think in terms of my past failures as failures because I only see them as lessons learned. You will be tested and pushed to your limits if you want to pursue your dreams. So you have to ask yourself, would I rather give up knowing Im going to live the rest of my life in regret or would I give up my comfort now knowing its going to all be worth it down the road? As hard as it is to see the big picture in the midst of failure, I also try to ask myself What if a setback is exactly what I need to make my next breakthrough?

Allison Phillips

There was a time in my life that I labeled life events as failures, seeing them as mistakes or as things that just should not have happened. But it's those very experiences that shape who we become. Life events, at times, were calling me into a new level of thinking and a new level of experience. They were often there shaking me and saying, Wake up, wake up Allison. This is happening because its time for you to wake up.

Antiqua Libbey

I will never forget the day I sat huddled in a ball in the shower absolutely feeling like a crazy person. One part of me was saying to the other: you are smart, beautiful, and lucky while the other part was screaming: youre worthless, you cant do anything right, no one likes you. I was on deaths door again and knew it.

Marti Melville

I was alone a single mother of five children, working as a nurse and barely getting by. My spirit was already tried to its very limit, or so I thought, and I wondered what lesson God could possibly hope I would glean from this. I stared blankly at the half-empty cupboard and wondered what creation I could scavenge up to call dinner.

Hina Hashmi

For those readers who believe - People (cousins, friends, classmates and colleagues) who were jealous of my physical appearance, life style and achievements paid for spiritual attacks & black magic on top of evil-eyes. Hence my immune system, body energy, and success have all been affected. I have been ill on & off since 1999 due to these negative vibes.

Sheila Dool

I wanted to be a writer. I had created all these stories so why not write them down for the world. My mother thought it was not a good idea. She said I needed a real career. Writers, actors and musicians are just lazy people that dont want a real career. So I pushed the idea away and focused on a real career as she called it.
