I loved this, it came from from penngwyn on stroke network.
But the reason I mention that here is that one of my classmates was a doctor who turned out to be a specialist in rehabilitation. He told me that in his experience, the most powerful tool in recovery/rehabilitation was to convince ones brain that there was no boundary, no impairment or limitation. "Act like you can do everything, and your brain and body will find ways to make it work." he said.
This corresponds to a saying that is engraved on a plaque above my wifes' desk.
'What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?'
I like that quote very much. I see such a mixture of people who are just giving up on life and others who are "Doers" who get on with life one way or another.
