Times passes 1044 days post stoke, blogging 41 days

After some passage of time I see many people visiting this blog and even a follower, so I figure there is some interest in the things I put out here.
I would rather not say, "I will succeed" and succeed, then say, "I will succeed" and not.
With that philosophy it is hard to maintain an "I can do it" attitude, but time has proven it's better to believe and internalize the "I can do it" attitude, than it is to broad cast "I can do it", I try harder to convince myself that I can do it, rather then other people. In the long run this approach has been more helpful in many ways.
This also reminds me of being told that I will recover in a year and skate again. A year came and passed and I did not recover fully. I had been told I might never swallow again (a scary thought) but then I did nearly two months later and a woman I once met told me she was told she would never walk again yet she stood in front of me with her 12 year old daughter, she said she didn't listen to them, she had a will to walk again.
Moral of the story is that we should never be told that we will or will not succeed at something...time, effort, circumstances and personalities will ultimately dictate this.
