A break-though

Recently I have come to terms with a couple things in my life, and the first one being that I am a clumsy person. Never really feeling comfortable with this, until I got into a bike (not motorcycle or vespa, yes a bicycle) accident with a car (yes it was parked). After the rush and adrenaline wore off, and I was faced with continually explaining to people how I broke my hand. This was when I realized that I am, in fact, comfortable with being so "foolish".
I have lost the use of my right hand, and I am in fact right-handed. It now takes twice as long to do everything.
While I am taking eternity to brush my teeth, eat, or get dressed I hear the voice of one of my managers in my head. We once had this hour long conversation in which she told me that if I slowed down a bit, I might not get into half as many "clumsy" situations. I wished those words had passed through my head as I raced down the street, one-hand steering, and gazing off in an opposite direction.
I have also recently excepted something else said to me years ago, "Life will always be in your way. No matter what you are trying to accomplish, things will get in your way. You need to seize the moment, and take advantage of the opportunities presented to you."
At the time this was a salesperson, and I thought they were just trying to sell me this package of lessons. I disregarded their statement, however it somehow stuck with me. More and more I have seen that this statement is true, and the dividing factor, that usually stops progression is MONEY.
I am now realizing this broken hand is also another block along the way. One block at a time on the bumpy road of life.
