14-year-old Tilly Lockey, from Consett in County Durham – U.K., lost both of her hands to meningitis when she was just a baby. This brave teenager, armed with a positive mindset and a healthy outlook on life, has been determined not to be defined by her disability inspiring others to challenge themselves and be bold!
“You would think playing the piano with no hands, that’s got to be impossible, because it’s all about your fingers, but really I just wanted to show everyone that I found my own way, and so can you.”, says Tilly who has rediscovered her love of the piano during the Coronavirus lockdown.
Tilly’s message is simple: nothing is impossible, it just requires willingness and now that we are at home, it’s the perfect time to take care of ourselves and rekindle a passion or a hobby or be intrepid and learn something new. This story is so powerful not only because it’s so inspiring, but also because it reminds us of the importance of finding the positive in every situation. Even during the Coronavirus pandemic we can still find things to cherish about: depositing happy memories in our memory bank is very important to our well-being.
