Your choice: Life and your attitude Melde Dich an, um diesen Inhalt zu abonnieren 0

Hallo Jungs,

ich bin einer der neuen hier, zumindest aber habe ich mich vor dem Powerforen-Ding registriert :P

Die Zeit für ne richtige Vorstellung ist wohl noch nicht gekommen. Nur soviel: Vor kurzem hätte man für mich noch nen Buchstaben nach dem Omega einführen müssen - da waren die alten Griechen wohl nicht vorausschauend genug ;) Mittlerweile bin ich aber auf dem Weg der Besserung (auch dank euch!) und hoffe in naher Zukunt auch was Sinnvolles (aka FR) zum Besten zu geben.

Anyway, ich bin über folgenden Text gestolpert. Scheint schon etwas älter zu sein, aber vielleicht kennt ihn wer noch nicht und kann was damit anfangen. Ansonsten vertraue ich darauf, dass ein Mod die richtigen Knöpfe findet :)

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.

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34.

After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

God Bless, and smile, it could be contagious...

Ich hab mir auch vorgenommen, mal an John zu denken falls die 3 Sekunden irgendwie zu schnell vorbei gegangen sind ;)

Oder auch: "You might regret what you do, but you'll regret what you don't do so much more."

BTW: Danke fürs (noch) nicht über mich herfallen

best:

Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

mir fehlen die worte zu diesem text

Der Text trifft den Kern dessen, was den Menschen glücklich macht.

Wie auch PU ist das Glücklichsein eine Fähigkeit. Und die kann gelernt werden.

Es erfordert Übung. Es erfordert, dass man sich dauernd damit beschäftigt, bis es einem ins Fleisch und Blut übergeht. Um sich aber die ganze Zeit damit zu beschäftigen braucht man aber eine Motivation. Woher soll aber die Motivation kommen?

Und hier kommt die zweite Komponente, die für mich erforderlich ist, um glücklich zu sein:

eine Leidenschaft, z.B. PU.

Eine Leidenschaft, die einen manchmal mit Freude erfüllt, aber auch manchmal mit Trauer - aber man lebt!

Und man verwelkt nicht in den Alltagssorgen und der Langeweile. Man ist stets dabei Herausforderungen zu meistern (denn Probleme gibt es nicht mit dieser Lebenseinstellung). Man baut sich ein Leben voller wunderbarer Dinge und lädt andere, z.B. Frauen, dazu ein, daran teilzuhaben. Man versprüht Energie, die andere Menschen ansteckt und ihr Leben bereichert.

Wenn man es wirklich schafft diese Dinge zu verinnerlichen, dann sind Dinge wie Geld oder Karriere etc. absolut zweitrangig.

Das ist für mich die wahre Dimension des PU-Lebens.
