This is message is for those of you who are currently in the depths of

disappear from mold exposure. It is from those of us that have previously

walked

in your shoes. Hang in there! It will get better. One way or another, you

will achieve a better understanding and you will make it through!

Received this email from a fellow mold survivor:

Just a little encouragement for today and hopefully for tomorrow too!

With love, Leah

is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood

and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he

was doing, he would reply, " If I were any better, I would be twins! "

He was a natural motivator.

If an employee was having a bad day, was there telling the employee

how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to

and asked him, " I don't get it!

You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it? "

replied, " Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two

choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or, you can choose to be in

a

bad mood.

I choose to be in a good mood. "

Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can

choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.

Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their

complaining or... I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the

positive side of life.

" Yeah, right, it's not that easy, " I protested.

" Yes, it is, " said. " Life is all about choices. When you cut away

all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to

situations. You choose how people affect your mood.

You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your

choice how you live your life. "

I reflected on what said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry

to start my own business.

We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life

instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that was involved in a serious

accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.

After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, was released

from the hospital with rods placed in his back.

I saw about six months after the accident.

When I asked him how he was, he replied, " If I were any better, I'd be

twins. Wanna see my scars? "

I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his

mind as the accident took place.

" The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my

soon-to-be born daughter, " replied. " Then, as I lay on the ground, I

remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose

to die.

I chose to live. "

" Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness? " I asked.

continued, " ..the paramedics were great.

They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into

the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got

really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to

take action. "

" What did you do? " I asked.

" Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me, " said .

" She asked if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes, I repli
