People who are physically challenged are sometimes wrongly regarded by some as not being able to contribute to society in any meaningful way because of their disability, but there are many whose strength of character and will to overcome all odds, have done more than just prove they can equal the efforts of our best not physically challenged people. Frida Kahlo was stricken with polio and spina bifida when only six years old, which affected her spinal and leg development. She eventually managed to walk despite having a right leg much thinner than her left leg. She also had to experience periods of extreme pain that lasted throughout her life. The pain often being so intense that she would be hospitalized for months on end. Frida still managed to become one of Mexico’s greatest painters and become the first Mexican artist to have her work purchased by an international museum in the 20th century. #survivor #polio #poliomyelitis #health #inspiring #positivethinking #faith
