Diary: Motivation

Where there's a will

Motivation – where does it come from? By Billy Mann

I occasionally ask myself to what extent the small and slow improvements I make in my post-stroke rehabilitation can be attributed to the fantastic work of the therapists I have been lucky enough to work with, and to what degree are they attributable to my own determination and focus along with my personality. The short answer is probably both, in roughly equal measure. The long answer is that I am the hero really, the star striker, and all the health professionals, family, friends, colleagues and people who have input into my life in a positive way since my stroke are the rest of a very successful team.
