Our Community
In life, there are many things in that are more painful than the loss of a leg, arm or other body part. One of them is fear. It is impossible to live a full, happy life if every step or decision dictates that fear. A person with a disability is not a person who has lost a leg, arm or other body part. That's what you have to overcome - the psychological state. Life is wonderful and it goes on. Let's be strong - let's overcome that state of mind.

We all live our lives hoping for a better future. But it is important to remember that we must put ourselves first. We simply have no right to despair or wait for the pity of others to achieve our goals. Putting our hopes on ourselves, with our strong will and strength, we are able to overcome all the difficulties that have arisen against us.

Disability is not a verdict, it is a struggle that is given to the strong, because only they can overcome all the difficulties and endure that struggle. Disability should not be a reason to give up on your goal, on the contrary, it should increase your desire to achieve the goal.

For a long time I was convinced that life is a straight path, but for some of us this 'straight path' deviates. Life often puts us in inevitable situations. After my amputation, I had many questions about my life. One of which was 'What can I do with a prosthesis?' The answer: everything. After changing direction from the standard way of life, you start living fully. Never forget, everything is possible.
