As the creator of a popular and growing online stroke support network I have been blessed to have been inspired by so many

who have done so much with so little.

When something as major as a stroke enters your life it is easy to question, "why me"?

Few things in life will surpass the the enormity or life changing event as a stroke.

It is understandable the loss of such things as your ability to walk, talk, make love, earning a living, carrying on a relationship,

saving your marriage or your memory, can have a depressing kind of effect on someone.

This is especially true for those still suffering from the recent shock after it first happens.

It is not for me to tell someone what they can or should do to improve. Nor will I stand in judgment of another because in many cases

not even they themselves can fully grasp what is going on in their minds.

One lesson that I can share however that I do believe can work for not only stroke survivors but people of all walks of life is to focus

on what we can do. Whether you are a sales person making a phone call or someone relearning how to walk.

Take that first step and do what you can now do and give absolutely no thought whatsoever to what you can not do.

Then do what you can and do it again tomorrow only a little bit more and a little bit better.
