- So what, I'm a paraplegic. It doesn't mean anything. Things could be a lot worse(8:05)
- One day I just woke up and thought, 'just get over yourself' basically (8:10)
- I'm just trying to see the good in it, to see the funny side with being paralysed (8:42)
- Having that sense of humour helped heaps, because it wasn't all doom and gloom (9:47)
- There are limitations, but there are always limitations, no matter what in life (12:17)
- Because you are paralysed, you can't do this, you can't do that...so I was already telling myself I can't do those things, but really, I can... (12:52)
- It's focusing in on what you can do, and not putting limitations on yourself (13:27)
- As soon as something bad happens to you, your brain automatically goes straight to the negative side (14:02)
- Try not to get buried in that negative hole (14:19)
- The doctor sat down and told me that I had 5% chance to walk again ( 16:45)
- I hated everything at the time (17:00)
- A couple of years later, it just clicked. I woke up one morning and thought what was the point about being depressed about it? (17:41)
- Well maybe I'm just going to live a positive life, but be thankful I had a second chance at it. ( 18:20)
- I could sit there for the rest of my life, and always focus on that, but by doing that I'm not actually moving on with my new life (18:53)
- If you just keep going, and you don't focus on the negative things, the positive things just come naturally. ( 20:08)
