A VIP dies and goes to heaven. The
queue to go through the pearly gates is slow
and long, and as he is not used to waiting
for anything, he walks to the front of the line and demanded immediate
entry.
'Sorry,' says the admitting angel,
'there are no privileges in heaven. Please resume you place.'
All entreaties fail, and as he is about
to turn and walk back a Harley roars up, a young guy gets off, picks up
a medical bag, and walks straight in.
"Hey" says the VIP, "How come a punk
like that gets in without waiting, and I've got to stand in that stupid
line?"
The angel smiles. "Oh him? That's just
God playing doctor."

John 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, John
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 and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't
be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"
He 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," he 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 he 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 he
was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a
communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive
care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I
saw him 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," he 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.
He 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 John. "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."
He 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.
