My sister-in-law posted Johnathan Mooney's video (I Proved Thexcm Wrong) on Facebook. Heroic, very disabled, total failure, Mr. Mooney overcame several disabilities to become a writer and success, an English major. He avows that each human being has a strength, a talent an interest to build a life on. He advises: "Find your strengths and compensate for your weaknesses."
I have been writing about maverization for 20 years or so and it is pretty much finding that strength, that talent or that interest that you can build a life on. Whether one believes in God as the Father, the Mother, Mother Earth, Jesus, Allah, Yahweh, Buddha, etc., my philosophy and religion of Mavellonialism is applicable to each faith whose followers worship a specific deity. Mavellonialism is meant to inspire each individual to find her calling, that one thing that God put you here to do, to do well, originally, artistically beautifully.
Then like accomplished, inspiration Johnathan Mooney, you can excel to the nth degree, no longer self-loathing yourself as stupid, lazy, crazy and deficient, to use Mooney's words.
He wants disabilities redefined as special, wonderful differences, upon which anyone can build a much better life. Well said, well lived, and well done.
