What’s more real — getting a paralyzed person back on their feet, or having a jacked body?
What’s more real — getting a paralyzed person back on their feet, or gaining 500 thousand followers?
What’s more real — getting a paralyzed person back on their feet, beating a deadly disease, or starting a business?
If in every case you chose the second option, congratulations — you didn’t lose your mind.
In 2017, a 20-year-old guy was diagnosed with brain inflammation.
What was wrong with him?
They didn’t understand why he only moaned instead of speaking when they asked him questions. And why his motionless body was shaking.
They took him and put him in intensive care with a diagnosis of epilepsy.
For the next three months he soiled himself and was fed through a tube in his nose. And no matter what doctors were doing — absolutely nothing worked.
But, to everyone’s surprise, he understood everything. That is what the doctor didn’t take into account when he told the parents that the guy would either die or stay in that condition forever. And the guy decided that, against all odds, he would start moving again and survive.
He started with the index finger of his left hand.
For a whole month he tried to move it even one millimeter. Every hour, every minute, of every strange day. And one time, late at night, when he tried again — it moved.
That guy cried the whole night, realizing that not everything was lost yet.
Day after day he tried to move other parts of his body. And it started working.
Another finger, then the hand, then the leg.
And then he even started… well, not fully speaking, but at least he stopped tormenting people with his moaning.
Six months later they discharged him from that same hospital, hung his photo with his name on the honor board, and still never really understood what had happened to him.
And that guy is lifeofrost on Instagram.
There were only two such cases. The other person died on the third day, exactly as all the doctors predicted for this guy.
Remember this once and for all: our brain doesn’t know what reality is.
It only knows what you keep repeating to it.
And in this case it was:
“Fuck that. I’m not dying.”
That’s why over the next year the guy promised to do everything listed above. And he will do it for sure. https://npub1vqfwt6k4rtwwpt3wqkg6yxr4lzsflr9edx4ehgty5d4tz7hjpt9szmawwd.blossom.band/363bef73ce8ea3264d388073cc769b7cf0b473cbd49cde70c0e20c11a87b578a.jpg https://npub1vqfwt6k4rtwwpt3wqkg6yxr4lzsflr9edx4ehgty5d4tz7hjpt9szmawwd.blossom.band/b15aba1caf2da5640cf8f93b30a10f5a07464b86f13c97675128f9a8c6a5f395.jpg
