Isaac Lidsky : What reality are you creating for yourself?

Isaac Lidsky at TEDSummit 2016
What reality are you creating for yourself?  (transcript)
Summary
You must believe that blindness ruins your life. Blindness is a death sentence for your independence. It's the end of achievement for you and it means that you live an unremarkable life, small and sad, likely alone.
However, those are fictions born of your fears, your excuses, rationalizations, shortcuts, justifications, and your surrender. They are fictions you perceive as reality. Let them go and create your reality that you decide responsibly.
Open your hearts and your hearts must have the eyes that can see true reality.
Harness your internal strength and silence your internal crisis.
Correct your misconceptions about luck and success.
When you accept your strengths and weaknesses, you can see reality through your heart’s eyes.
There must be happy there.
