An Amazing Gift

My mother has always been a tremendous part of my life. When I was born, my chances of survival were fairly slim. She recalls doctors, friends, and loved ones coming into her room saying how sorry they were that she was going to lose her baby. I was placed inside an incubator not expected to live long. However, my mom turned the situation around in her mind. She told everyone to not come and visit her if they were convinced of my imminent demise. My mom knew deep down that I was going to live and now here I am over thirty seven years later writing these words. My mother didn't spend time worrying about the hows, she just knew and believed that her baby was going to live. I think back to that story and feel blown away by her deep faith. This isn't any different than what The Secret says. Why should it not be possible for us to turn our lives around by simply changing the way we view the situation? It's taken me over ten years to understand this concept. I have changed the way I look at my body and health. I declare myself to be healthy and fit but also do the work necessary to achieve that goal. I do not expect for things I want to miraculously fall from the heavens into my hands. I am a firm believer in taking action. I've been told countless times that I think and analyze too much. I love thinking about stuff like this and it is becoming much easier for me to see the possibilities in life instead of limitations. My mom has always told me that God or the Universe has more solutions to our problems than we could ever imagine. I believe it one hundred percent. I am open to the endless possibilities around me. Thanks again mom!!!!!! I love you!!!!
