Burnt In A House Fire
The other day, Lisa and I took our 13-year old daughter Kaitlynn to Children’s Hospital in Seattle.
We make this trip every 4 months, and each time, we make a day of it (what with the traffic and all, we pretty much have to).
You see…
Kate has Juvenile Arthritis, and in order to manage it, we need to take special precautions, which include regular trips to Seattle so the doctors can keep an eye on her.
Managing her condition also includes more enjoyable things, such as Kate being in dance three times a week, going swimming as well as horseback riding.
Going to Children’s Hospital is always an eye-opening experience, and sometimes it’s a real tear jerker for me (yes, even a big guy like myself has been known to cry on occasion).
The hospital specializes in helping children, many of whom have life threatening, or terminal conditions.
And let me tell you, they do an incredible job of catering to these kids, and giving them hope.
But what’s even more amazing is how I’ve watched Kaitlynn grow, as a direct result of our regular trips to Children’s Hospital.
She doesn’t feel sorry for herself, or her condition.
Not in the slightest.
In fact, she regularly talks about how fortunate she is.
And now…
Each time we go to the hospital, Kate insists on spending some time so she can visit with some of the other kids.
The other day, she was talking with a young girl who had been badly burned in a house fire, and was now going through extensive painful surgeries.
As you can imagine, this little girl was not in the best of spirits.
As Kate sat talking with her, and I stood listening to their conversation, it brought me to tears.
I overheard as the young girl told Kate, “My parents can’t afford all this”.
To which Kate replied, “You don’t need to worry about that right now. You just need to concentrate on getting better so you can get out of here and be back home with your family. Besides, they’ve got programs to help with your medical expenses”.
Wow!
Talk about a profound statement.
And in that instant, the girls’ demeanor completely changed.
Kate went on to tell the girl that more than anything, the power of her own mind would determine the outcome of her situation.
As you can imagine, I was one PROUD parent as I listened to the words that were coming from my daughter.
After using “mind power” to achieve incredible results in my own life, I’d been teaching Kate this concept for the last few months.
And to hear her now sharing it to someone else - was an experience I’ll never forget.
Most people spend too much time concentrating on what they don’t want, rather than what they DO want.
But…
When you open your mind to all of the possibilities available to you, and picture the desired outcome, seeing what your life will be like when you have it – you will have cracked the code to attracting anything you want from life.
Makes no difference whether your desire is more munee, better health, better relationships, more business, more time off, a nicer home, a nicer vehicle or anything else.
You can have it all!
Think about what you want right now, then imagine yourself already having it.
How does it feel?
Feels great, doesn’t it.
You’ve just put your subconscious mind to work, and it’s now going to come up with the answers you need to get the things you want.
For more help with this, be sure to join us for the next Seminar-By-Phone. Go Here Now.
And when you do, I look forward to speaking with you.
Dedicated to your success,
Kevin Thompson
