    Be Honest with Yourself, and Your abilities will soon Surprise Your own Outcome!

    Just a lesson I recently learned the hard way! Like Most of us who had to learn how to walk again weather it be with crutches or a new Leg, alot of pride had to be swallowed inside! I always completed every task in front of Me without fail and asking for help with anything just wasn't my style! It's hard for Me to ask for help, and when i do it seems that i'm not myself! Do all of us feel that way? Or have i always been so hard on myself that i failed to realize there is nothing wrong with asking for help.

    Today i learned that when i'm honest with MYSELF every goal i achieve is 1 more than Yesterday!!

    I think anyone who had an independent style prior to amputation will fight hard to maintain it. It's part of our identity. I am 6 years an amp and still hate asking for help - but am getting better about it and still learning (sometimes the hard way!)

    Sounds like you are doing great Matt!

    Thanks for sharing..

    I totally understand where you're comin' from. I own my own business, and had to hire some people to do what I use to do around here. It sucked looking out in the shop and seeing others working on the cars I use to work on myself. I'm slowly getting myself back out there. I drove a stick vehicle the other day!!! that felt weird!! LOL....Keep it up bro. Have you gotten back on the bike yet? I haven't had the opportunity yet, but a friend of mine has a Road King with the heal shifter. He said as soon as the weather breaks I can come out and give it a whirl. Man I can't wait!!!!
