| Living, positive thinking |
I invite you to read this story and I think you will find the solution to your life.
Rob is the type of person that I enjoy to hate: it is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say.
When someone asks how it goes, he replies: "If it went better than that, I'd be two people".
It's an optimist.
If a colleague has a day out, Rob always manages to make him see the positive side of the situation.
I was curious to see him one day and asked, "I do not understand, you can not be optimistic every day, how are you doing?".
Rob replied: "Every day I wake up and say to myself, now I have two options, I can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood and I choose to be in a good mood. [continue...]
When something bad happens to me, I can choose to be a victim or to learn from it and I choose to learn.
Every time someone comes to me complaining about something, I can choose to accept complaints, or I can choose to help him see the positive side of life, and I choose the positive side of life".
"But it's not always that easy", I said.
"Yes, it is,"Rob said", life is all about choices.
When you cut away everything that does not matter, it's all a matter of choice.
Up to you to choose how to react to situations, it is up to you to decide how to let others affect your mood you choose whether to be in a good mood or bad mood.
Eventually you decide how to live your life.
After that conversation we lost sight of why I changed my job, but I often found myself thinking about his words, when I had to make a choice in my life instead of reacting to events.
I knew that Rob had had a bad accident on the job, had fallen 18 feet tall and, after 18 hours of surgery, he was discharged from the hospital with a steel plate in the back.
I went to see him and I asked him how he felt. "If I were better I would have two people, he said Want to see my scars?" .
"But how do you do? "I asked him" to be so positive after what happened to you?".
"While I was falling, the first that came to my mind was my little girl.

Then as I lay on the floor, I told myself that I could choose to live or die and I chose to live".
"But do not you ever afraid?".
"Yes, when they took me to hospital and I saw the expression on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got scared, because it was as if they looked a dead man.
Nurse then asked me if I had allergies, and I have answered Yes, all looked at me, and I screamed: I'm allergic to gravity!
They all broke out laughing, and I have added: and now operated men alive, as if I were already dead".
Rob has taught me that every day we have the opportunity to choose to live life to the fullest.
So it's no use worrying always about tomorrow, because each day has its problems on which to choose to live, and tomorrow we will think the problems of tomorrow.
After all, today is the tomorrow that you bother yesterday.
