336 Kelly T., CHATS Toastmasters, Scottsdale, AZ, Nikon D-80, f 5.3, 1/60 ISO 125, 10-19-09At first glance you probably, like me, missed it. It's not really that obvious and the way she carries herself with poise and positive energy, you still would miss it in person.
The fact is, Kelly has a limitation. She was born with a left hand that was malformed. It's her story and I won't do it justice to repeat it here, but as a public speaker, her story is of shear inspiration.
Her message is a call to action, a relatable note that nothing should hold you back from what you want in this life. A physical limitation is no different than a mental block on things you are desiring to accomplish. It's all in your head. The secret is twofold 1) Visualize your success, (The end of the marathon, not the run). See yourself, your friends, the smells, the noises of what it looks like for you to attain your goal. 2) Don't ask how; Ask what. What do you need to do to get to that one thing that will allow you to be passionate and focused on your dream. Allow the how to come to you and 'mute' the, "You can't do that" you have listened to.
Kelly mastered playing the violin, I'm shooting for the reality of making money and gaining notoriety with my photography/art. What are your dreams? What makes you 'Hand Made Perfect'?
