Life is like an onion; you peel back the layers and sometimes you can't help but cry

As I watch handicapped people cross the street, walk around town, or even at the mall, I can't help but feel sorry for them. No, it's not one of those pity sorries where I wish I never end up like this, it's the kind of sorry that makes me realize how thankful I should be for my life...

Growing up, mama always told me to thank God for giving up limbs that work well, giving us a roof to cover our heads, and giving us foods to fill our stomach but I took all of that for granted. Heck, I still take all of that for granted.

After watching this video and knowing the type of person this man has become, I feel like I should make an impact on people's lives. I sit here, dwell over my mistakes, and press repeat. I ask myself over and over again that why can't I learn from my mistakes the first time around?...

But this guy, who doesn't have arms, can embrace someone better than I. This guy, who doesn't have legs, can outrun me in the race against living. Definitely has me thinking about what direction I want my life to head to. And the path that I'm treading on right now just isn't cutting it.

Maybe, just maybe, it's time for a change...
life is supposed to be a journey, and journeys cannot be completed without moving around.
