About This Page: (This is Main Street by Angie, who is working on art goals here on the blog!)
This has been a personal project to blog every day for a school year on goals and dreams. My hope was that I could find a group of people to work with me.
I was lucky enough to find a small, but sincere group of inspirational people to keep me company. We've been using Walt Disney's philosophies or creations as inspiration.
I am no longer blogging daily, but I am notified if comments are posted, and I'll be happy to keep the discussion going!

I was thinking today about how some goals seem so hard to reach. Others get crossed off the list, but they are lacking something. Sometimes accomplishing the things on the To-Do list can seem like such a roundabout chore.
THEN, I took a closer look at this entry from Todd.

Well to me Being in a wheelchair has a lite side to and a dark side to it. The dark side if my chair battery goes out or I get stuck in a hole hoping someone come by to help or don't transfer right to one chair to another it become a nightmare. Also the way people treat you if you are with others.
Then the lighter side is getting in my own line at WDW or DL, nice parking place, and I don't get tired as quickly if I'm zooming around.
The only place that there is advantage and disadvantage at the same time is in air traveling, one I get to go on the plane first then get off last hoping there is a chair for you waiting. They either bring your own chair to you or have something happen to it make you wait in the baggage claim area. But it is the challange that keep me going and good things always come out of the dark moments.
The Davy Jones ship Makes the Dream ship look even bigger and mightier. But the DJ ship look as it could do some really bad damage to a big ship like that.

WOW! Todd, what a way to reframe your thinking. We discussed reframing earlier here.

. I won't repeat myself, but I'd like to take a reframing break before we dive into the final half of our school-year-long-blog project.
Todd's reframe dealt with looking at the lighter side of being in a wheelchair. Todd mentioned in an earlier comment that he is stuck in his apartment because his wheelchair does not handle the streets well in the rain or snow. When the weather improves, though, he is off and wheeling again.
Sometimes limitations like time, energy, focus, resources can slow down the goal process. Sometimes thoughts will keep you as stuck as when Todd waits for someone to come and help him get his chair out of a hole.
Can we take a moment to examine just what is it that keeps us from moving AND what conditions make that worse?
I'll go first. And, THANK YOU, Todd.
(P.S. remember, if you PM your answers to me, others won't be able to learn from them! Please post here if you can.)

OK, I get stuck when I feel like I don't know how to proceed to get something done correctly.
I often tell myself that I'm just not up to the challenge and THAT slows me down!
My reframe will be this:
Caring about how well I do something will motivate me to put the time and effort necessary to do it well. Not being able to figure out how to do something new (and I am ALWAYS doing something new) can make me feel stuck also.
I just need to set some guidelines because I don't have all the time in the world. I need to just do things one step at a time and keep track so I don't drop any of the items I am juggling.
Maybe what I do won't be perfect, but I'm going to give myself a thumbs up just for trying and finishing something.0 Pixie Dust

By the way to add to my own comment when I'm home when the weather is wet out. Thanks to the computer or tv or what even need to be done around here I'm never really bord. I have a web sit I can build on or type a trip re report when the weather is bad. Ok Right I know your looking at SD CA time and weather and saying "boy he is on late or the weather look nice there". But hey, it the weekend so I stay up late. But thing is sometime getting stuck can make you do more of the other think that you really don't have time for or getting stuck teaches you what you did to get stick in the first place.
Thanks Sandra for using me as a learning tool, I love it when People could learn to look at them self and say hey I'm a good person.0 Pixie Dust
