When you have the freedom to do anything that you wish and go anywhere you want to; life feels good. It might not be perfect, but it is excellent this way. This is also because happiness is what you create in your mind. However, this freedom is sometimes constrained such that you cannot do or go wherever you want to without the help of a machine. Fortunately, in the modern society of today, there is an awareness of what the disabled and disabled people needs are, especially the ones that live in wheelchairs. The world we live in is not perfect the same case with our bodies. Life can be very challenging, even more to the people who use a wheelchair. And since everything is a matter of choice, you can still choose to be busy, productive, and happy in a wheelchair.
The world can appear much bigger while in a wheelchair where people will seem way taller than you when walking on their feet. Some of these people do not see you at times to the extent of even stumbling over you. On the other hand, some will want to do things for you or also push you. Of course, it is possible to do these things on your own because it helps in maintaining your self-esteem and a sense of independence. However, being in a wheelchair, you will also get some bumps on the way. One of them is when your wheelchair ramp is a little too steep which can make you gulp; hence, you have to depend on specialized public transportation or friends to give you a ride unless you can afford a car that is fully equipped for your type of disability.
However, being in a wheelchair is not such a bad thing. When a non-disabled person becomes ill or is involved in an accident that confines them into a life of wheelchair, they are advised to always focus on the deeper purpose of their lives even though they might understandably become frightened, angry, or quickly lose hope at first. Sometimes the condition is only temporary like when you have a minor spinal cord injury that is expected to get better with time. In this case, you are taken through a period of extreme physical therapy while avoiding usage of crutches or casts, and while remaining in a wheelchair for several months. On the other hand, some conditions are unfortunately permanent, and it is not good news for anyone.
Many of the disabled people are still able to continue living a happy and productive life regardless of them being in a wheelchair. They can go to jobs, raise their families, contribute to the development of the country, and they are also physically and financially independent, just like other people. You do not have to be walking on two feet or have a perfectly able body for you to be fulfilled in life. By living your presence to the best, even when in a wheelchair, it can give you the same or even a higher sense of fulfillment. After all, it is not how perfect our bodies are that helps us to conquer the challenges of life but rather our spirits. Therefore, all you need to do is choose to live life to the fullest.
