working together so you can improve your life and shine forward
Start Fulfilling Your Life!
Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go;
they merely determine where you start. ~Nido Qubein
where would you like to go and who would you like to be?
That’s what a lot of life boils down to, doesn’t it?
We have these goals and desires of what we want our life to be like, but sometimes, we are just simply not there... yet.
With anything in life, we always have a place - a moment in time, where we start: the beginning of a marathon, learning how to drive, studying a new subject, etc.
If you sit and think… what comes to mind that you’ve learned - something that is quite easy for you now, but at the beginning, was far from it? Got it?
I bet if you think about it, there were probably moments during that time that you got frustrated, overwhelmed, hopeless, upset, or even wanted to give up.
That didn’t happen, did it?
Nope.
You were persistent.
You moved forward.
You accomplished your goal.
If it wasn’t meaningful or valuable to you, you may have given up.
And I don’t know about you, but I don’t know anybody that doesn’t want a wonderful life for themselves, full of value and meaning. We all want to be fulfilled and content during our time here.
Nobody is passing on that dish!
But, even though we want it, sometimes life will throw challenges at us that make it almost impossible to take a bite. Whether it’s an event, an experience, a moment, a change, or some type of psychological, physical, neurological, or functional dis-ease, picking up that fork becomes absurdly painful.
Here at Shine Forward OT, we can support you in having the life that you want (‘picking up the fork,’ so to speak).
We take an occupational therapy (OT) approach to this struggle.
By using our professional knowledge, experience, and skill set, we work with you to develop a custom plan to improve your life. Focusing on your whole well-being, your independence and participation in all meaningful activities, and your overall quality of life.
We are here for you to ‘shine forward’ to where the possibilities for your life are far beyond sight.
So please, reach out if you have any questions, thoughts, things you want to share (even if it’s to let us know you got hungry with us mentioning forks and dishes, we had the same problem! haha).
We would be happy to hear from you.
Wishing you well in whatever way you choose to ‘shine forward.’ 💕
