Power of the Mind... I returned from a business trip last Friday & headed straight to my medical doctor’s. I had a nasty infection that patients typically experience a relatively high degree of pain on the infected areas. He prescribed medication & advised me to stay home for a week to avoid contaminating others. I went about the unpleasant task of informing clients & postponing appointments. And there were the travel cancellations. I resigned myself to a lousy week. On Monday, I got out of bed positively charged to over-turn the adversity. I told myself - “I’m going to fight the viral infection & make it an exceptional great week!”. Bring it on! With faith in my GOD, coupled with an enormous dose of positive thinking, the week turned out to be a fantastic one. So many things happened- I was entrusted with more people to help, I had to do back-to-back phone sessions, and each day was as exhilarating as if I were to be in normal health. Couple of bonuses - I hardly experienced any pain, I willed myself to recover a day earlier so I could partake in a fund raising concert, & had two awesome lunches with my dear wife on Thu & Fri. We will always experience ups & downs in life, decide how you prefer to respond to them. Happy weekend ahead.
