Post Op Day 5, mind

How well does your present attitude serve you?

This question is rarely self-imposed…

How well does your present attitude serve you?

Couple that question with the fear others have of asking potentially embarrassing questions. There’s your answer for why mediocrity flourishes.

Bonus: Even if you do ask yourself, no one knows your answer but you. You can easily dismiss your answer and move on to the next appropriate distraction.

Post Op Day 4, mind

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”.

Thankful to have had nine hours of sleep last night.

Thankful to have five daily, differently themed blogs to write.

Thankful to have a pool with 87-degree water at 9:00 AM in mid-September.

Thankful to have Apple Music.

Thankful to have John Mellencamp playing as i write five blogs while floating in our pool.

Sight obviously lets you see. Sight also lets you discover.

Optimism is an invisible 401k plan.

Post Op Day 1, mind

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.
