So what is my end goal by doing this website and blog. I know I listed out my goals on a separate page and I even discussed it a little but I wanted to take a deeper dive into this. I want this to bring awareness to what handicap people have to deal with, which many people don’t realize. I feel like I am being successful in this hard to measure goal. The other thing I realize, is that I am lucky. I got to walk until I was 31. I got to ride go carts and bumper boats and play mini golf in Branson as a kid. I got to go camping, and floating on the river, and ride bikes (not real well but that isn’t the point) and atv’s and shoot a basketball, and have a fairly normal childhood. I got to act like I was normal and not everyone gets to do that. It is not something that I can still do and I guess there in lies the rub, there is no real reason for this other than maybe it isn’t very profitable.
The world isn’t fair. It never has been and probably never will be. Some of the goals I list, are selfish. I want to be able to compete, something I have never really got to experience due to my physical limitations. I want to stand up again. I want to ride a go cart on a go cart track again. I want more than just a single vehicle that I can go get groceries in or visit people or go to work in. I also want other people to experience things in life that I have gotten to do. One of the items is the entertainment complex, something that I know is an ambitious goal. I feel if I could raise proper awareness for it after it was in place, I could bring people to it from surrounding states so that other handicap people could finally experience things or re-experience things that they never thought possible. Some of the things I list are just to help make peoples lives better. I know how hard it is to find a handicap accessible hotel room that will work for me and that they don’t make an RV that will work in its place, why shouldn’t I set a goal to change that.
I have first hand experience on things that don’t work well, why shouldn’t I be pushing for new things on a niche market. I try to act like I don’t have humongously ambitious goals and I try to not to be a trendsetter, but it is honestly exactly what I want to do. I would love to be a part of an organization that honestly has money to waste on projects like this (it could still be a tax write off). I know they may not make a lot of money and maybe won’t bring a lot back to them, but can literally change peoples life because they have the means to do so, so it would not be a waste.
That is why I set my goals to bring things to the market for handicap people. It has the possibility that it may never be a big money making thing, but it sure would make a lot of peoples day better. I have dreams just like anyone else, and maybe, just maybe, I can change the world so that some people can be included in doing things the same as everyone else does, and maybe take for granted. Maybe I am just a dreamer and dreaming big or maybe sometimes it is not big enough. Time will tell how this all works out. Thanks for reading!
