It's your decision

John was very bitter after being stricken with cancer. He was brought to the hospital where he shared a room with the most uplifting person he had ever met. No matter who came to visit, John could only focus on his disease. John constantly complained about it and just could not see past it. Every morning, the man sharing the room with John would look out the window and share with John all the beautiful things that he saw. He would see children playing in the park on a beautiful sunny day. After it rained, the man would see beautiful rainbows. He would start out each morning by informing John of how beautiful life was.

After a few weeks, this man's positive attitude started to rub off on John. John's cancer was slowly leaving his body and everything was looking great for him.

One morning John woke up and the man was no longer there. So John asked to be moved over to the window. As they moved him to the window, John became irate. He looked out the window and discovered a view of a brick wall. John began to demand answers from the nurses. The nurse said, "Oh didn't you know. "That man died of cancer and couldn't see. He was blind. He was picturing all those beautiful things in his mind."

"Make a decision to change your vision."

Quote of the month: "While those hesitate because they feel inferior, others are busy making a mistakes and becoming superior."
