Up in Smoke

the metaphysics would have had a field day with me yesterday. Everyone in the office did. I was bombarded with emails and one liners about how I need to get a "non-smoking" car......

You see, I was driving a 96 Acura TL, great grandma car. It was awesome. Great on gas, and really reliable. However, it started to idle in a really weird way. You could imagine my surprise when I parked next to my mechanic, to see smoke coming out from under the hood. My mechanic came out immediately, and raised the hood to find flames coming out from under the hood!!!!


My car was literally on fire, and I was flabbergasted....

Yet for some reason, with all of my recent changes, I found myself happy...

Here is a great chance to show you one of the lessons that I have learned in my recent changes...

Contrarians choose what they focus on. There are always different ways to look at things. I could have focused on my loss, and I could have focused on what was next. These decisions on what to focus on leads to what Tony Robbins call "the Decisions that shape your Destiny"

You see, things that are bad and good will always happen to us. Whether we like it or not, time will pass us by, our bodies continually change, and things are rarely the same. Yet, we can choose to look at these changes as losses or as opportunities for something new.

Choose the later. Be contrarian. Understand that the only way that you can derive inner strength from change is by focusing on the opportunity. Find the positive in everything. Be Thankful and grateful for the changes, and be EXCITED and PASSIONATE about the things that are about to happen.

Yeah my car caught on fire....have a sweet rental car, and looking at new vehicles...Excited to see what I can find!

To your future,

JC
