Thumbs up This video shows that being handicapped is but a state of the mind



One of failing is when one is no longer normal or is handicapped. But
being handicapped is but a state of mind in many cases.

What you are about to see was seen at a Chinese modern dance
competition. One couple won one of the top prizes. The lady has one
arm and the guy has one leg. They performed gracefully and
beautifully.

The lady in her 30s was a dancer and was trained as one since she was
a little girl. Later she got into an accident and lost her arm. She
was depressed for a few years.

It seemed that someone asked her to coach a Children's dancing group.
From that point on, she realized she could not forget dancing. She
still loved to dance. She wanted to dance again. So she started to do
some of her old routines. But by her losing an arm, she also lost her
balance. It took a while before she could even making simple turns and
spins without falling. Eventually she got it.

Then she heard some guy in his 20s had lost a leg in an accident. This
guy also fell into the usual denial, depression and anger type of
emotional roller coaster. She looked him up (seemingly he was from a
different Province) and persuaded him to dance with her. He had never
danced. And to dance with one leg? Are you joking? No way. But she
didn't give up. He reluctantly agreed. ' I have nothing else to do
anyway.'

She started to teach him dancing. The two broke up a few times because
the guy had no concept of using muscle, control his body, and a few
other basic things about dancing. When she became frustrated and lost
patience with him, he would walk out. Eventually they came back
together and started training. They hired a choreographer to design
routines for them. They danced beautifully and they legitimately beat
others in the competition.

After seeing the video it tells a lot of ourselves, our attitudes in
minds, our negative thinking is nothing but just plain excuses. So do
not postpone opportunities that are present but seize them and use it
to your abilities. Time is in your hands. It is all up to you to make
time.
