Cerebral Palsy living independently

Cerebral Palsy living independently
Living independently of other people when you have a differentiation is not so obvious.
I forget that, according to a doctor, I have a CP injury. People assume I live with a 24-hour servis and my wife cares for all chores and supplies me. OJ .. Yes, I have a wife.  Swedish, svenska klicka här http://mikael-avatar-stjernvall.blogspot.com/2017/04/cerebral-palsy-living-independently.html

Not even this is obvious with a wife, if you do not know who I am.

The next thought that arises is: How does she think when she lives with someone like me. What made her choose me … the more people think the more questions arise. How does she provide him it can not be easy. Then add that I’m an artist and create abstract paintings, with abstract music. Not even my wife understands what I do and how can this be explained to any human being?

My wife makes it easy and says … I drive a car and have a driving license. Mostly he drives a motorcycle.
By saying this, this solves many mysteries about our relationship. We are ordinary people and he can drive a motorcycle. Since I moved to Thailand 2009 I did not see a single person with disabilities driving a car or motorcycle. At least in Thailand, very unusual.

 

Yes .. I do not cook food so often. Maybe sometime a year. Not because I can not.
That’s because my wife has worked as a 5 star chef for 15 years. Her passion is food. The biggest thing she did was as First Chef with 10 others, serving 10,000 guests at the same time.
When you see her in the kitchen, it’s like watching a ballerina dance at the highest level. It’s just a blast of energy. I promise I have nothing in the kitchen to do.

My starting point when it comes to food is that there is some unnecessary pain that man has to do daily. It steals time to make other sensible things …. So I think it’s a good idea that in the kitchen I will not be …
This creates problems. It is rare to go out and eat locally. The food is too bad and when we go out, it often happens that the chef asks my wife to make the food as she is a famous chef …

Among the few times I cook is when the oldest daughter comes and then there is genuine Swedish home cooking on the menu. It is high in courses on the Thai family menu when daughters are tired of Gourmet food ….

Motivational video never give up

Motivational video never give up by Artist Mikael Avatar.

In this video tells of growing up and part of life, who get different choices. Schooling, sailing across the Atlantic … simply a story about never giving up no matter what happens

The sound relaxes after. Sorry about this, but the content is good for those who it fits.

 

 

Injustices

Injustices by Artist Mikael Avatar

All people have injustices. The question is how we do with them.

I forget that people who do not know me can sometimes treat me differently. I do not think that maybe it’s the first time someone meets a person with Cerebral Palsy.

Here in Thailand, does not show many disabled people on the street. They are kept away. If I am right, it is because that culture says you were a bad person in last life. You came this time to earth with a functional barrier.

This week I looked at motivating video and the majority is about to overcome injustice. All are treated unfairly and the question is how we use this knowledge to our advantage …

Another angle is that you do not need to be the best to be the best. I can attest, is true. I was not the best athlete I encounter during my career. Many were better. I train just more than all the others and made me grace goal: to be the best.

A movie I saw said it … those who train to make good videos on youtube 120 times a year, will be beaten by the person making 360 videos per year. With the same talent …

It is about the desire to achieve my goals. How much are you willing to spend to reach your goal. And then we come to the great passion you have, for what you are doing ????

This will determine if you reach, wherever you want, or if you choose to just be normal …

Excellent will be people willing to go the extra step in life, though there is energy to do anything. You just go with your passion to achieve your goal. Whatever happens…

Now it’s a long time since I was elite athletes. As I said before when I train for the Para-Olympics 1996, Atlanta, low training hours at about 70-80 hours a week. 1992 I came not to the Para-Olympics and tested how much my body to exercise for one week. The end result was about 140 hours to 164 hours possible.

So for Atlanta to 70-80 hours, my brain knew that I can work 70-80 hours without any problems. I am completely superior in every workout.

How far are you willing to go to achieve what you want …

The difference to have had a world record or be 2 centimeters away from having a world record is immense … You can not compare these two people … It is just so … Take the example: I almost went to the moon, I was almost giving birth, I moved almost new ….

It can be good stories to tell, but you certainly explains just why it did not happen with a lot of excuses … ..
If you lived in NY or given birth to a child, it is just so …

My suggestion is that you become a world record holder in managing your greatest passion. Whatever happens….

Awareness

A new series of cerebral palsy awareness. Are you aware that you are a woman or a man? Aware that you have a certain disease or profession. I am not aware that I am a  celebrating palsy person. I talk in this film about the awareness of cerebral palsy, but no matter who you are, you can benefit from this …
