Top of the day to you!

I am always so surprised when I hear someone moaning that they have arthritis, cancer, M/S, colds a lot, can't quit smoking, etc. Everytime I see this I always trace ALL of it back to ATTITUDE and CHOICES. I have two cases in point:

(A) My younger brother smoked for 30 some years and always said he couldn't quit. He had a double brain aneurysm a few years back, which blew us all away in the family, as we love him of course. But when the doctor told him he would die in no time if he didn't quit…well guess what, he quit with no effort at all. It was an Attitude and a better Choice.

He suddenly discovered 2 things that were profound. 1) He could do anything he wanted to if he just wanted it bad enough. There's that phrase again, “People always want what they want when the want is more that the effort.” 2) His eyes were opened to why even the family was disgusted with the stench of the damn things when he was around. Now the family has so much time for him and he was saddened that all it was, was a selfish inability to come to grips with his own mind to do something about it in the first place.

And I also think the inability to want (key word = WANT) to change things is only a cop out for those who have nothing better to engage someone in a conversation. Sounds brash I know, but it's the only reason I've found to explain it to myself.

I created a Tele-seminar on getting the cleanest air and how to quit smoking, which is a Dual Audio Learning System and cost only $35.00, which includes the Shipping & Handling. If you would like to have that program now, call 800-325-3438, as it's not going to be in that format after March 1st! It's going to be a component of a major system we are developing right now!

(B) I was coming home two days ago from a 40-mile bike ride to get ready for our last CAREER Tele-seminar, which is a must to have in your listening library. Had the best minds in the business on the show. And when I was coming around the corner, someone shouted out my name and I stopped and he introduced me to his friend who was in a wheel chair. Steve introduced him and said he had M/S! Steve asked me to give him a food that would help his M/S! I got to thinking, “how about something BAD for it”? Well I started quizzing him about what he was doing and he said there was no drug yet for his M/S! I thought how unfortunate that someone with such a dreaded disease who was rolling his wheelchair into the local bar with a cigarette in his mouth would be looking for a magic potion when the real potion was in his mind. Quit poisoning yourself I thought and give your body a chance to recover.

If someone was to tell him there would never be a drug that would cure it and let him know it was a lifestyle thing, then maybe he might take a stab at it. But then again here's that magic phrase from a good friend of mine, Joe Marino, “Nobody likes change except a wet baby!”

It's all Attitudinal and to even qualify that, check this out.

If you write the word ATTITUDE acronymically on a page and fill in the number where each letter falls in the alphabet, it says is all.

Your attitude means 100% of what you can do and achieve. Winners don't have a great attitude because they win, they win because they have a great attitude. And it's the will of a person, not the skill of that person that counts!

Everything we have is a result of choices we make, whether it be poor health, no money, bad relationships, the whole 9 yards! And the only difference between the two words, Choice and Chance is “OI” & “AN” If we make the right choice in life, we can Oust Illness and if we take life by chance, then we will Always Need! Capish?

A couple things to reflect on:

Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

A good friend of mine, Dr. Gayle Carson on the ATTITUDE Tele-seminar we produced and is also a Dual Audio Learning System, says “5 Minutes of negative energy takes your body 24 hours to get back to normal” ….Gayle Carson, Ed.D.

Reminds me of a little story I heard one time.

On the first day of college, the Dean addressed the students:
     "The female dormitory is out-of-bounds for all male students, and the male dormitory to the female students. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time. The second time you will be fined $60. A third time will cost you a fine of $180. Are there any questions?"

      A male student inquired, "How much for a season pass?"

IT'S AN ATTITUDE!
