Majoring In The Priorities of "MY"norities

"MY"norities are slighty different from "ordi"norities. Regardless of what we may think, Life IS fair. It happens to all of us. Some of our lives have been altered to degrees that make holding down full time employment difficult to impossible in some cases. I have friends and relatives who've made wrong decisions and taken the wrong paths that led to addiction, incarceration and life-threatening illness. Others, who through no fault of their own, have been blind-sided, beaten down and been down for so long, the idea of getting back up no longer seems like an option. How we process our circumstances is fair or unfair to ourselves. "These are my cards, how do I play?" Some of the best presents come gift wrapped as problems. Let there be this marriage of personal responsibility and opportunity.

A chamillionaire mentality teaches us to change our "colors" or mindsets:

Mindset:                                   

From disability to This ability

From Handicapped to Handicapitalist

From Challenged to SHALLenged

From Dual diagnosed (addiction & emotional turmoil) to Dual diagYESed

From Bi-polar to Bi-polarized (life is like photography, you take the negative & develope)

From Stroke to Stroke of genius/Indifferent Stroke

From Wheel chair to we'll, will, well cheer/wheel chariot

From Blind, visually impaired to Blind I-am-bition/IndiVisually empowered

From Depression to Depressed into service/d(esteem)pressed

From Cancer to Canserve/ Cansurvive

From Neurotic to Entrepreneurotic ('skill' crazy after all these years)

From At risk (youths) to Ikstar (rhymes with Quixtar which is the first entrepreneurial opportunity that inspired me to find opportunities we could use)

From Parolees to Parole-models (breaking the cycle of reincarceration)

From Disabaled Vets to Place your Vets or coVeted
