READ THIS LET IT REALLY SINK IN I was mst impressed with this article, has some good sound common sense. - THEN CHOOSE>>John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood>and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how>he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!">>He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, John>was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the>situation.>>Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked>him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time.>How do you do it?">>He replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two>choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can choose>to be in a bad mood, I choose to be in a good mood.">>Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can>choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.>>Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their>complaining or... I can point out the positive side of life. I choose>the positive side of life.>>"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.>>"Yes, it is," he said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all>the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to>situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in>a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live>your life.">>I reflected on what he said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry>to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him>when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.>>Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident,>falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours of>surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital>with rods placed in his back. I saw him about six months after the>accident.>>When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be>twins...Wanna see my scars?">>I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through>his mind as the accident took place.>>"The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my>soon-to-be born daughter," he replied.>>"Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I>could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live.">>"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked>>He continued, "..the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was>going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the>expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.>In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man' I knew I needed to take action.">>"What did you do?" I asked.>>"Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said John>"She asked if I was allergic to anything 'Yes, I replied.' The doctors>and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep>breath and yelled, 'Gravity'">>Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me>as if I am alive, not dead.">>He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his>amazing attitude...
