Each one of us has amazing abilities to create more than just an existence. It is also true that people with various levels of disabilities contribute to society as long as they are given opportunities to do so like the rest of us. Each person operates as an independent being where there are avenues to explore and decisions to make. It is all about making choices through each day that sets us apart from the other species of the animal kingdom where our thinking capacity allows each of us to choose what we do and where we go. We are not limited by what other people think or what they want us to do unless we decide to do so or have given away our ability to choose.

During the course of a day, people move from one decision process to the next often without conscious realization that they have made a series of choices. These choices are often conditioned by routine behavior taking place over many months or years. But, it is with conscious design that people decide to go down one pathway in life as opposed to another and it is these choices that set us apart from each other. Our extraordinary capacity to use a decision process can move us to do great things in this world or it can lead to devastating consequences for the individual and to those around them.

“He recognizes his sovereign control of his own mind and decides what will enter his Mental Kingdom through his sense gateways; he thinks for himself, considers the evidence, seeks the truth and builds his life upon it.” Wilfred A. Peterson

"Achievement comes through persistence, patience,
seeing life's obstacles as steeping stones to success."
