Hiker taking steps in fight with cancer

This is a really good story folks.
You can apply this to anything in life. It doesn't have to be cancer, or life threatening.
The experts tell us we only use about 10% of our brain, simply because we haven't figured out how to use the other 90%.
I can give you some examples, and I know this has happened to every single one of you who is reading this right now.
Lets say you are driving down the road, and you start thinking of a certain song, and bam.....the next song that comes on is the very song you were thinking of...a coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. If it's a top 40 song that they play all the time.....okay I'd give you that one......but how many times has it been a song you haven't heard in forever.
Or how about this one, you will be thinking about somebody, just for no reason whatsoever, the phone rings, and it's the person you were thinking about, I know that has happened to you.
Again, coicidence?
Maybe.
But how many times has it happened in your lifetime?
I can think of several times where I have picked the phone up to call somebody, and the person I was calling has already called me and is on the line, but I picked it up right before it rang.
I'm a firm believer that's the power of the "untapped" mind.
I know, you're probably thinkin'
"D C you have completley lost it."
Well, maybe.
(we'll see what you think next time it happens)
The power of positive thinking can be a powerful thing.
Most of you that have known me my adult life, know I have Crohns. And I have had bouts with it several times over the years. And I have had this since about the 9th grade. I was pretty sick with it in high school, but I wasn't about to let it get me down. (although I did have to quit football pretty much because of it)
Anyway, I still was able to play basketball and golf.
But it was the power of positive thinking that really helped me.
Was I dealt a "crappy" hand (pun intended, lol) sure.....but there are people who had things a whole lot worse than I did.
Like the guy in this story.
Anyway, the lord won't give you anything you can't handle....stay positive....he will help you if you help yourself.....which to me means:
POSITIVE THINKING AND ATTITUDE!!!
