When Life Gives You Wheels, Make Them Gatsby
Sometimes life hits so hard that it feels impossible to move forward. And then we face a choice: stay stuck in pain, pity ourselves, and blame the world for being unfair — or find the strength to create beauty and joy even where it seems impossible.
While walking with a friend in Vienna, I came across this wheelchair. Its owner cannot move on his own because of illness, but look at how he transformed his vehicle — a symbol of limitation — into a stylish “Gatsby,” a true piece of art.
It’s a reminder for all of us: even when life breaks our plans, we still have the freedom to choose how we see the world and what we create from it.
