Sorry to hear about your injury, Bob. I completely relate to this post having gone through rehab for 3 herniated disks, followed by a major shoulder injury. In life, having the painful conversation is often the only way to get unstuck and work toward resolving the issues. I've learned to face things head on no matter how uncomfortable I know it will be. I often find that avoiding the conversations creates anxiety that could easily be alleviated if I just faced the issue directly. The clarity gained from approaching these situations with a clear goal in mind and focus on the outcome wanted also helps to motivate me to tackle the challenge rather than run from it.
Love this! And glad you're doing better. To quote another Stoic, "What stands in the way becomes the way." Ancient wisdom for modern times is my favorite genre :)

This is a great reminder of trusting your self. I wrote about it in this article. I hope you enjoy it.
