Success quote for December 26, 2010

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Immediate Home Solutions

Good Sunday Morning,

Today is December 26, and it will be a great day.  

Each day I'll be posting a quote that will, hopefully be thought-provoking.

I thought it would be nice to help give us all a little added inspiration to our day.  

I'm home again now and I am going to strive forward to overcome the obstacles that are in my way.

Many of you are aware of the trials and tribulations that have befallen me over the last few years, including a near-death car accident that left me wheel chair bound for 7 months.

About a year after the accident (around May), I started to have some complications.  Not from the accident, but, I have been diagnosed with one of the rarest neurological disorders known.  I am one of about 15 people in the country who have this "disorder" and am continuously going through experimental treatments.

Sometimes I feel like an alien that has been sent to Area 51.  They're not sure what they have, however, they keep testing until something "sticks".

I am able to achieve this against the odds that I am given because of my attitude and belief that I can.

Did I mention that I feel like an alien that has been captured?

Here is the inspiration for the day.  Have a great Sunday.

"You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so.  For remember fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind."

~Dale Carnegie

Hi Lori and Bruce,

I couldn't agree with you more.  F-E-A-R is False Evidence Appearing Real.  Many times, it IS in your head.

Hi Pat,

I share because I know that I'm not the only one going through a difficult time.  If I can help others, then maybe it can help make what they're going through easier.

Hi Cindy,

My wife feels the same way, obstacles make you stronger.  She thinks that my alter-ego is Superman!

Hi Wende,

There is so much not known about the mind as well as the will and determination of an individual which cannot be measure.

I was told after my accident that I would not walk again.  I told the doctor that he was wrong and to never mention to me or my family again.

I would spend hours in the hospital bed concentrating on making my big toe wiggle...  Now I'm on a cane.
