The main reason why people fall and never seem to rise again is because they quickly pin themselves to the ground. That alone is why some people live a life of regrets.

I read once that “No Condition Is Permanent” but later I realised that we as victims of that condition determine how long we want to be in that position.

The closest reference is that of a baby that is learning to walk. In many occasions when they take their first steps, they are bound to fall. But it is the baby that decides whether to stand or sit and cry in regret.

You will realise that the baby who stood and tried again is able to walk a little earlier than the one that cried.

My dear sister simply because you got pregnant before you could finish your studies does not mean you should not try again at life. Look at Oprah Winfrey, as a young girl she was victimised and survived abuse but she picked herself up to become the best version of herself.

You can use whatever you can to move yourself. As they say, life is not a smooth road. Humps and bends await. You cannot make it to the top without falling because essentially we fall to rise.

My disabled friends, brothers and sisters. First of all you are enough and very special. You can be any‐thing, you are your only limitation. Many of you may regard your impairment as the hump to your road but, no, that is far from the truth. The only Hump that ever will be in your way is you! The first step in doing anything is giving God thanks.

Many may ask Why? The answer is simple. Because He created you with unique individuality.

The second step is realisation of self-worth. People will and can only treat you the way you treat yourself first. The last step is setting your goals and accepting that the sky is the limit. All in all my friends, a hump does not mean the end of the road.

It is a realisation of how far you have come and if you are willing to continue. We all fall to rise and no condition is permanent if you believe it. You can change your position for where there is a will, there is a way.
