The article features insights from several prominent individuals discussing the empowerment and resilience found in living with disabilities.

If you have a shot of whisky, and then you have a shot of pickle juice, it tastes exactly like a cheeseburger. Having a disability is not a disadvantage; it's a different perspective. We all have our strengths and our weaknesses, and sometimes a weakness can become our biggest strength.
Follow your dreams and pursue your passions, even if you're afraid. Don't let your disability or anyone's opinion hold you back. Find yourself a good mentor and have a plan.
You are smarter, more emotionally adept and stronger for what you have endured. You have empathy and perspective, and therefore you have substance and a more interesting outlook. Just block out the nonsense, avoid magazines that avoid people like you and your experience.
My advice might sound a little cheesy, but bear with me. If you want to be loved, be love. It's about trying to remember that we won't feel better if other people approve of us.
