Thinking about W. Mitchell always helped me get back on the positive path.

“Thinking about W. Mitchell always helped me get back on the positive path. Years after he was in a fiery motorcycle accident and a paralyzing plane crash, he told me how he learned to take responsibility for the new challenges in his life. He decided to live by the philosophy, ‘It’s not what happens to you. It’s what you do about it.’ Mitchell proved to himself and others that he could create something positive out of adversity. One statement he made really inspired me: ‘Before I was paralyzed, there were 10,000 things I could do. Now there are 9,000. I can either dwell on the 1,000 I’ve lost or focus on the 9,000 I have left.’ Whenever I start thinking about what I can’t do, I tell myself…’If Mitchell can think positive thoughts, so can I.’ I believe the same is true for you.”
