"You can do anything you put your mind to....". "I knew someone just like you and they are walking now....". These are all things we hear from people who want to encourage us and ease the pain they believe we are suffering, and the pain they are suffering seeing us this way. It's the pain of our loss.
"...if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid" Albert Einstein.
The reality is that we are different. We can no longer be judged how much we accomplish compared to what used to be our peers. Yes, you can achieve incredible things if you put your mind to it, but there are going to be limits. The reality is that those limits are unknown, and no one can truly know what they are other than yourself. If you give your all to whatever you do, you can be proud of what you've achieved. It doesn't matter what others think, only what you know in your heart.
