I'm sure my first thousand blog posts were barely read at all. But a few stroke survivors positively commented so I kept going, I've never had ANY communications from ANY stroke medical 'professional' so I guess they don't give a shit about what survivors think. Someday the stroke medical world will listen to me, but only after they become the 1 in 4 per WHO that has a stroke.
My journey on this blog will continue, I'm having too much fun tweaking supposedly smarter people than me.
Oops, I'm not playing by the polite rules of Dale Carnegie, 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'.
Telling supposedly smart stroke medical persons they know nothing about stroke is a no-no even if it is true.
Politeness will never solve anything in stroke. Yes, I'm a bomb thrower and proud of it. Someday a stroke 'leader' will try to ream me out for making them look bad by being truthful, I look forward to that day.
Seth's Blog : The leap
In action movies, there’s a lot of leaping. Brave shifts in which the hero gets from here to there, all at once.
It’s easy to imagine that sudden leaps are how we make our impact.
This is blog post #9000 (give or take).
When did the leap happen?
It wasn’t an external leap. The first hundred blog posts were read by fewer than a dozen people.
It was an internal one. The decision to be a blogger. And then redeciding, each day, not to stop.
Every four years, we have a worldwide holiday to celebrate this sort of leap. The leap of choice. Not to suddenly get from here to there, but to choose to go on the journey.
It’s only once every 1,460 days, you can do it.
Leap today.
Perhaps we begin by visualizing it. In the most concrete terms you can find, write it down. If you took a leap today, what would it look like? Who would benefit?
And then, share it with just one other person.
Often, the act of physically writing it down is the most difficult part.
