Mistakes, an inevitable part of the human journey, are revealed as transient
events rather than defining characteristics. They appear as so many
stepping stones, each helping to form the both beautiful and ugly mosaic of
experiences that make an individual. Recognizing and turning mistakes
into opportunities for personal development, one can learn to be strong.
Problems are also portrayed as external obstacles that cannot contain the
essence of a person. Instead the spotlight shifts to how people get around
these obstacles and how they gain strength from experience and resilience.
Rather than being the defining feature, disability is recast as one facet of
people's lives. The blog stresses that the full range of abilities should
be seen as a fundamental part of one's identity. Disability is not something to
stands in someone's way but rather an aspect of diversity, we learn from Nature
and are inspired by Science.
The transience of thoughts is also stressed, to prevent fleeting doubts and
negativity from being the sum total of a person. The story then swings
back to the more permanent parts of identity with deeper meaning.
The essence of the blog centers on what really makes a person. Experiences
are seen as the strokes of a brush that color and bring life to one's own
living picture. Our lens on the world in perspective. We celebrate it
as an active force, always shaping individuals 'way of understanding and their
way of reacting in life's myriad moments.
As a multifaceted gem, personality reflects the
various facets of an individual's being. Creativity is glorified as a
generator of original thinking and artistic outlet, adding to the individual's
sense of self. Goals become guide stars--they lead people along their
journey and determine the choices that mark them.
Hobbies are depicted as looking into the heart, revealing desire and pleasure. It
is seen as an important power, one which determines replies to challenges and
how people act in the world. Finally, traditions are seen as the building
blocks of daily life in which a person's identity is founded.
Basically, the blog reminds us that identity is a transient thing. Acknowledging
the impermanence of some things and openness to those that last can lead people
on a path toward self-understanding. In the end, it encourages us to move
away from what society determines as definitive toward those things that are
really important in this tangled and beautiful human image.
