Installment number three in the ongoing “Lessons From Everywhere” series, I share lessons learned from several conversations I had sitting on a bench with blind and visually impaired people waiting for the same train as me outside a center for the blind at one of the stops on my daily commute.
Sometimes the people with the most perspective and awareness, are the ones who can’t see any of what you see.
The list of 10 lessons are shared below. Enjoy!
- Self reliance and Independance are two different things. We are all interdependent.
- You always have something to give that others don’t have.
- Our weaknesses can create our biggest strengths.
- You are probably being a bit dramatic with some of your problems and excuses.
- There is so much more to life than what we can physically see.
- If other people don’t get your struggle. Find someone who does. Not to comiserate, but to elevate.
- You might be missing the beauty in plain sight.
- No dignity is lost in asking for help.
- Technology can make you weaker.
- How you look is not who you are, or what makes you beautiful
