HOW YOU START YOUR DAY TOMORROW.
>
> Michael 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, Michael 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 Michael and asked him, "How do
you do it?"
>
> Michael 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," Michael 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 life."
>
> I reflected on what Michael said.
Soon thereafter, I left the Towe 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 Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.
>
> I saw Michael 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 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, " Michael 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.
Michael 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
Michael.
"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."
Michael 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."
Matthew 6:34
>
After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
