Inspirational Quote for People with Disabilities #2

“Be there for others, but never leave yourself behind. When you own your imperfections and you embrace your life, you become a better person.”
​—Dodinsky, In the Garden of Thoughts

I interpret “own your imperfections” as “Congratulate yourself every day you, with even a smidgen of dignity, get through an illness-related experience that you’d thought you wouldn’t be able to handle.” Feel free to share a quote that has helped you in the comments!
