The Power Within Our Disabilities

We were all put on earth for a reason; a purpose I might add. Whether it be to become a professional sports player, assist others with their finances, or teach other; we all have a mission that we have come to earth to complete. A while back when I first embarked on my spiritual journey I learned that before we are born we sit down with God and basically plan out our entire life from who your family members are, who will be your friends, how long you will be visit earth for, the situations you will encounter, challenges you will face, and ultimately what you will be put on earth to accomplish. Later when we are born we forget everything we planed for in this trip to earth and have to rediscover what we came here to do. With this being said, why would anyone choose to live a life where they have disabilities and struggle their way through different challenges?

In this blog, I am going to discuss what makes us stand out from everyone else, what I think the purpose on earth is for the disabled community, and how you can unlock clues to what your purpose is here on earth. 

How we are the same; but yet different

I never really looked at disabled people as being different from the general public. Yes we may look, think, talk, walk, and learn differently than everyone else, but we function in the exact same way. Instead I would describe disabled people as being loving fearless worriors that march the earth both day and night as we slay away the challenges that life brings our way.  More recently, I have started noticing more and more people with disabilities getting out into the community with that I have also seen different characteristics come out in them that I don't really see too often in the general public. Some of these characteristics that are engrained in people with disabilities includes;

• Being a natural leader
• Being independent
• Being responsible
• Being respectful
• Being kind
• Being friendly
• Being trustworthy
• Being orginized 
• Being naturally calm
• Being understanding 
• Being satisfied easily
• Being a rule follower
• Having a naturally loving soul 
• Having a growth mindset 
• always caring about others
• Loves being a helping hand
• Is determined
• Never giving up
• Takes pride in everything they do
• Is a great communicater
• Is a great listener
• Is honest always
• Is adventurous 
• Doesn't really care what others think of them 
• Embraces their uniqueness
• And more

  A majority of these characteristics I inherited from my parents, but there are still other characteristics that would make this list even longer of different traits that also made up my personality when I was born.

What I think a disabled person's life purpose is on earth

From the time I was a little girl, I always felt like I had a strong connection with the universe and just didn't know it at the time. I have always had an unbreakable friendship with God,  never really understood the way the church taught us about God, felt safe/ protected all the time even when I was by myself, always had a deep knowing about different situations, thought in a different way than others, and never feared the unknown like other people do. As I got into my teen years I started getting the feelings of stress from the  school pushing us to decide on a career choice and then dealing with my sister's mental health that I got into a simple form of meditation to help manage the feelings I was feeling at the time.  Once I got to my adult years, it was like a complete 180 for my family and I when my sister's mental health got the best of her and she passed away. Even before the police told us that she passed away when we thought she just ran away, I had a deep knowing that she had already passed away when we drove around trying to find her; but ended up keeping the feeling to myself because I didn't want it to be true. Since that point, I have gotten really involved with spirituality and learned new ways to heal ourselves, learned went in deeper on this I have already been practicing without even realizing it, and a new way of viewing the world.

During the start of this new journey I did a lot of personal development and realized that what my purpose was in life was right in front of me the entire time and I was just over thinking it. Once I unlocked the clues to  figuring out that my life purpose was to write and empower other people through my life story things just started falling into place. No I don't make money writing posts each week on Alyssa-bilities; but you know what, I don't mind one little bit. Why? Because it combines two things I love to do; writing and helping others, brings a smile to my face each week knowing that by writting these posts I am making a difference in the lives of others even if it is just one person, and it also allows me to have the freedom to get out in nature whenever I want which is something that I enjoy most in life.  I think that if someone is doing something that thet truly love like I do with working on Alyssa-bilities then how much money we make doing that certain thing doesn't really matter because by doing what you love, having faith in God, and working on yourself will allow everything else to fall into place when the moment is right in your life.

I am not an expert with any stretch of the imagination because everyone is different and what works for me may or may not work for you. Only when you really think about it who is truly an expert in their field of work? I instead rely souly on guidance, intuition, and a little bit of help from my friend the Google. With this I find it makes my posts more original, relatable pervides more insight into different topics, and overall is more enjoyable to read. This week as I sat down trying to get guidance on what to write in my post; many things came to mind which I added into this post, but the biggest guidance I got was on the question of what is the purpose for a person with disabilities on earth?

As I analyzed this question I thought about my sister who had a mental disability and me with my physical disabilities which helped me developed my theory.  I don't think we truly have disabilities. Yes, we are physically or mentally different; but I think that the word disabled really is just a label that people use to describe somthing that they don't fully understand. When I look at  people with disabilities I see them as having a mysterious personality that allows them to do amazing things. On the outside we have our physical form, but when you start unpealing the layers there is a totally different world that is filled with the many abilities that are within our disabilities. This allows us to overcome the most challenging situations that pops up in our life that not many people would have the mental strength to continue working through the challenges. I believe by just living life in our own way and doing whatever makes you happy is what a person with disabilities life purpose is here on earth. By living in this way, you have the ability to live in the way you want to which will teach others that if you overcame your challenges of your disabilities to get to where you are now then they can do it in their life as well. Not everyone who has disabilities will teach other people the exact same thing, it will be different because each of us is different in our own way. For example, when my sister was here on earth to accomplish what she came here to do; she taught and helped so many people by showing them what it means to truly accept others, love them for who they are, and showed us a different way of looking at life. For me, I truly believe that part of my life purpose is to teach and help others by sharing my knowledge, showing love, understanding, and acceptance of others everywhere I go in life. The thing is though, is how do you figure out what your life purpose is in life?

How to unlock clues to your life purpose?

Finding your life purpose may seem a bit challenging at first, but it isn't really as hard as it may seem when you take the time to analysis it instead of over thinking it. One of the biggest things I have learned on my spiritual journey is that our life purpose is hidden in clues of what you experienced in your childhood. Things that can help you find out your life purpose includes looking into these different parts of your life.

• Your disabilities
• The challenges that you faced
• Hobbies
• Personality traits

These are a few things you can look into within your life that can help you find your life purpose. It may not be noticible right away,but as you find the clues things will just start falling into place.

To Conclude

There is great power that comes within our disabilities. We were put on earth for a reason and the clues will reveal themselves over time. You are a unique,loving, and wonderful person who is going to do wonders in this world.
