Getting to know Richard has indeed been inspiring for me. After two and a half weeks of spending time with him, I can honestly say that he is actually less disabled than the rest of us. Yes, he has a purity that shines through and a true humility. Remember, humility is recognizing one's greatness, recognizing that our gifts are God given...and acting responsibly, which means using our gifts to make this world a better place and ourselves better people. Richard has an enthusiasm for life that I have never seen before and due to his struggles, is not afraid of anything. He is the only person I know who made the following statement and actually meant it, "If I die tomorrow, I'd be able to say that I did what I could with all of the time that I was given and all that I had." Needless to say, my life has been en'Rich'ed by him and I want to share this enrichment with all of you, so that we can all become less disabled! It is an honor for me to help him find his soul-mate.

But this one is special for me cause Mr. Bernstein puts exactly my feelings into words... I am not disabled (at least not more than 'normal' society would say) but it is what a healthy mind is longing for, for my opinion, awareness how big the small things are and appreciation for it. Everybody wants to be taken how he is, but are we prepared to give it to others? i think a disabled person can see the world through pure eyes, eyes of the soul cause a lot of bad influences do not twist their minds. whereas a not disabled one has often to resist wrong views or rules of daily life and ends up obeying them without noticing even.. thanks so so much for sharing these beautiful truth brought to us through Mr. Bernstein. May Hashem bring him his soulmate soon!!! Orah-Nehama Mrs. Levitan always meets great people and therefore has to tell great stories, thank G’d.

I just started dating a disabled man (polio) and I am having a hard time adjusting to his disability, although I am very much attracted to his spirit and personality. I have always dreamed of finding a good man to be my husband, one who is kind, considerate, funny, etc. and this guy is all of that...and then some! However, I didn't realize how much value I placed on physical appearances until I met him. I am both surprised and disappointed at my reaction because I know it would be unwise to reject him based on his appearance alone. I have pretty much made up my mind to continue on with our relationship and let fate lead us in the direction we should go. Your article has helped me in making that decision.

I am now studying MFT/MHC and couldn't agree more. If couples are going into a relationship with a "Velcro" outlook to begin with how am I able to help the couple deepen their relationship? when going in they didn't putting their full self into the relationship because they always felt they have a way out if things don't work out? is it possible, other then by chance if things do workout, to upgrade a Velcro relationship for one of iron?

]]> Comment on Date by your Values by Chana Levitan http://www.chanalevitan.com/date-by-your-values/#comment-5 Chana Levitan Mon, 09 Aug 2010 01:08:46 +0000 http://chanalevitan.com/blog/?p=16#comment-5 Thank you for the compliment, but the truth is, we all have a reservoir of strength and clarity within ourselves. I am writing to strengthen your access to this reservoir. We all struggle with ourselves and in our relationships, we are all pulled in different directions. But we do have a conscience, our 'best friend', that calls upon us to live by our values and to be true to ourselves. And when we are true to ourselves, we experience a tremendous rush of inner strength and clarity. And it is this rush that empowers us to stand up to those self-destructive pulls we experience at different times in our lives. I hope that the story of this couple, and their mutual realizations increase your conviction to allow your inner strength to emerge and be victorious.
