From the time I was born I have faced many challenges and obstacles due to my cerebral palsy. Today I want to talk about the day that I learn that the word impossible does not exist.
We can talk about many experiences I had that taught me that the word impossible doesn’t exist.
At the age of 7 while watching Spongebob I laughed for the first time.
At the age of 12, I had the opportunity to copilot an airplane and fly over the Everglades.
At the age of 13, I started playing softball for a special needs softball league where I got to play my favorite sport and be a part of something beautiful which was life-changing.
At the age of 14, I had a youtube video that went somewhat viral
At the age of 15, I hit a rough patch in my life where I was trying to discover who I was as a person with a disability. This is when I discovered I had a passion for writing.
At the age of 16, I published James Ticking Time Bomb.At the age of 17, became a part of the Facebook community started to share my story on disability sites.
At the age of 18, I became a contributor for several sites including Project Wednesday.
At the age of 19, I got my first pair cowgirl boots and my first cowgirl hat. This is something I never thought I would be able to do because of my cerebral palsy in the way my feet are when it comes to boots.
At the age of 20, I finally accepted my disability and I truly began to live my life to the best that I could.
At the age of 21, I had my first real alcoholic drink and realize I hated it and I’ll never drink again.
At the age of 22, I officially was able to feel what adulting is and how it never stops
At the age of 23, I started my podcast As Told by Tylia and many of my articles have touched many people. I’ve also started to model.
When did I learn that the impossible doesn’t exist? From the day I was born. Throughout my life, my dad and mom have always taught me that the word impossible does not exist. To me, it really never existed and I’ve always looked at what the word really means: ”I’m Possible”
Throughout these life experiences that I’ve had as a woman with a disability, I learned as I’ve guided myself through life with the support of my friends and family that nothing is impossible. Don’t let your situation stop you because you are in control of your life. No else could control your life and what you do with your life. Nothing is impossible unless you make it impossible. That is the key to living an inspirational and happy life each day. Try setting a goal for yourself each year when you turn another year older. Set the main goal for yourself and you will soon learn the true meaning of the word impossible means I’m impossible.
