Best day of my life.

dad

Mental editing…

Picture this…late 1980’s…Disney’s Contemporary Resort…hourly front desk Cast Member (me), attends a motivational speech in the Ballroom of the Americas.

The speaker, name finally forgotten, left an indelible mantra in my mindset…

Today is the best day of my life.

It would be so easy to sink into despair from the extended, and uncertain, double retina reattachment surgery.

Only one out of 10 retina reattachment surgeries requires a second surgery.

In layperson’s terms, nine out of 10 surgeries are successful.

i am in the unsuccessful 10% that has to redo the surgery.

In this moment, feeling so incredibly blessed to lean into this “unsuccessful” demographic with pure joy.

Pure gratitude.

Pure optimism.

Pure hope.

Pure “best day of my life”.

Optimism is a mindset.

Saying, “optimism is a mindset“ is a blinding flashlight of the obvious (BFO).

Saying, “doing what is a blinding flash of the obvious is hard” is also a BFO.

But these two BFOs should never stop you from making ‘the obvious’ your reality.
