Piece Of The Puzzle


© Jill Ann Smith

Hearing impairment will leave you feeling like a piece of the puzzle is gone. You will never be the same person you once were. Why concentrate on the person you'll no longer be, and what you'll no longer possess.

Instead you should put a great deal of determination forward so you'll be able to take the punches and keep on heading towards your goals. Learn to trust your instincts in order to survive in the game of life.

After all life doesn't come with a book of instructions. Climbing the mountains you want to overcome will be easier when you learn to evaluate yourself as a whole person. It's important to run in your own race at your own speed.

Don't compare yourself to others. As this will only be self defeating. Look around and you'll discover others with disabilities who lead productive lives. Don't allow your own short comings to limit your own lifestyle.

All of us have setbacks in our life. Times when we wonder why we are attempting to accomplish the things we hope to gain. In my own writing path sometimes I stumble quite by accident to the end result of success.

My lack of patience is very disruptive in the way I finish projects. As I sit at my desk awaiting the inspiration needed to create to hit me, I am tempted to procrastinate.

Speed will win most races. Writing takes patience and perseverence. The first draft is never your best writing. Slow and sure will give you the quality you desire in your composition.

At times it appears everything seems to be coming at you, from many different directions. Just this week I needed to alter my course of action a little bit. I tried to keep a pace which feels comfortable for me. A break time is nothing to feel ashamed about it's actually quite important for you to do.

The time of leisure activity isn't as essential for you as the actual break itself. Pressure will build up to the point of your thinking becoming irrational. I have been really close to completing something when I end up having to stop and return to it at a later date.

Rushing through an assignment will only lead to making mistakes you wish you would have taken the time out to avoid. Usually I plan accurately working without worry or care.

The best thing to do is stay calm and give yourself a momentum which is easy to follow. When you run into snags remember to examine all angles of your work. The compromise will be effective and the end result is one you will prefer.
