Trust your vision

This was from Goalcast which Honorine posts a lot from. They are very inspirational.

This lady is a sports/basketball commentator (I will have to find her name) and her son had a brain tumor when he was young and ended up being blind. These are lessons she learned from the experience.

Trust Your Vision
Blind Life and Leadership Lessons

1.   No peripheral distractions
      "Your life is controlled by what you focus on." -Tony Robbins
2.   Stay focused on the goal straight ahead and move towards it one step at a time
3.   Sometimes true strength means asking for HELP!
      When Pride says, "Do it yourself!" But Wisdom says, "Ask someone who knows." Be humble
      enough to listen to Wisdom! You'll be proud you did!
4.   I Can!
      Don't let the things you can't do overshadow the things you can.
5.   Trust that eventually you will learn to survive in your new normal.
      Change is often difficult, but it is also inevitable. Trust you will survive it. After all, every day
      is a new day. And you are still here!
6.   One thing worse than losing your sight is losing your vision!
      It's not about what you can see, it's about who you are meant to be! Sight is perception of your
      present. Vision is faith in your future! (Sight is physical, vision is spiritual)
7.   You are significant, so passionately play your position!
      Passionately play your position! Why we are here is not for our own glory. Ultimately we strive
      to be our best to lead and serve others. In doing so we encourage others to do the same!
   
So passionately play your position, no matter how bad things get.You see how those fouls in life, if you trust, the vision will come back and will lead you, directly to your purpose. That's how we all win.

Also: Stop hanging out with Worry and Doubt, and make Faith your new best friend!
