ou can believe
anything you want: choose wisely. 40 years ago I had an industrial accident and
spent a lot of time flat on my back: that left me depressed and wondering if I would
ever fully recover. My doctor told me a positive attitude was the best medicine
he could prescribe: the only way I was going to get better was to really want
it. That wasn’t what I wanted to hear: in fact, it nearly made me want to give
up. But after wallowing in that depression for several months I finally hit a
point where I realized if I wanted to get up I had to believe I could. It was
with that belief that I started physical therapy in earnest and forced myself
to do more each day: each successful step reinforced that belief and ultimately
led to my recovery. Life is full of obstacles: it’s your choice to let them
deter you or believe you can overcome them. Either way you own that choice.
