Adapting and Changing

Last night I had to make a break from my past, and move one step ahead in order to recognize how my body works now with quadriplegia.

It's nothing very dramatic, but I traded my long time hunting rifle in on a model that works better for a person with quadriplegia.

Even though I have not shot that particular rifle at a deer in 15 years, it was still difficult letting it go. I thought about all the adventures I had with it. The long shots, hunting trips with friends etc.

Sometimes it's difficult to recognize my limitations physically. I resisted change and that put limitations on me. Today's blog is not about hunting or rifles it's about willingness to change or adapt to new situations.

Disability forces me to make changes. But you do not have to be disabled to recognize the need for change in your life. What are you resisting? What changes do you need to make to be more adaptable and successful in your own environment?
