Imogen and Louise both had Cerebral Palsy and miraculously, they were both affected in the same way. The only difference between the girls was their view on their disability and their outlook on life.

Imogen looked at the things she could do rather than what she couldn't and what she couldn't do like other people, she did differently. She looked forward and took everything one stp at a time. For Imogen, anything was possible if she put her mind to it and worked hard. Sure, life was tough and sometimes she was blue, like everyone. But every single time, with out fail, she'd get back up, dust herself off and get on with things.

Louise meanwhile would often wallow in self pity and feeling sorry for herself. She wondered if she could do things, then decided most likely not. She didn't try. She kept to her cozy, small little life and never did anything different or new. She wanted sympathy and often played the 'disabled' card. Louise was always too scared to do anything and she worried about possibilities that may not even happen.

Life is about perception, what view you take of the world and your circumstances. You're only human if you sometimes have bad days and think 'why me?' Everyone has those moments. But you also have choices. So, do you want to go out and live your life or do would you rather sit in your house all day and do nothing? Would you rather stick to the same boring routine you've had for the last twenty years or put yourself out there and try something new? Would you rather have a full interesting life or a boring, predictable one? So which view do you take? Optimistic or pessimistic? Positive or negative? Good or bad? Happy or depressing? Life is what you make it to be. It's your choice, so what do you choose?
