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 to and asked him, " I don't

get it! You can't be a positive person all of the

time. How do you do it? "

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, " 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 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 was

involved in a serious accident, falling some 60

feet from a communications tower.

After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive

care, was released from the hospital with

rods placed in his back.

I saw 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, "

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.

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. "

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:

1. Delete this.

2. Forward it to the people you care about.

You know the choice I made.
