} 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, 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 . " 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... I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.

Attitude, after all, is everything.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Each day has enough trouble of its own. " 6:34.

After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

You have two choices now:

01. Delete this.

02. Forward it to the people you care about.

You know the choice I made.

God Bless, and smile, it could be contagious.

Love and Gratitude, Barb
