CHOICES

Happy New Year Happy New YOU!

     I was talking with my minister friend, Dr. Kathleen Johnson, the other day, and we explored the idea of choice.   Sometimes when a person tries to explain an action he or she may say, “I really didn’t have a choice….”    I don’t agree.
WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE.  When a person is involved in a situation he or she doesn’t like, what actions or choices can he or she make to create the highest and best for all concerned?
My friend was telling me a story about a man who always gets up in the morning with a positive attitude, making positive choices.
Here is the story in nutshell…
Jerry always has a positive attitude. He is a restaurant manager and his staff like him so much they follow him from restaurant to restaurant. Jerry wakes up in the morning and makes a choice to be in a good mood or bad mood. When something bad happens he finds the good or lesson in it. When a staff person complains, he helps them have a positive outlook and choose to learn something. Once 3 robbers came into the restaurant with guns. One shot Jerry. He was taken to the hospital and he saw the looks on the medical staff’s faces. They were looks as if he were a dead man. At that moment he made a choice to live. Before he had surgery the nurse asked him if he was allergic to anything. He said “bullets.” In the surgery room he asked the doctors to operate on him as if he were going to LIVE. He recovered and months later he said, “If I were any happier, I would be twins.”
What a beautiful inspirational story.
