There Is Never Time For a Bad Attitude.

During seminary I watched a video about a guy named Tyler. He was an athletic prodigy, a gifted and handsome boy. He was on top of the world. Had a beautiful girlfriend, poplularity, good grades good family and good friends. It seemed that nothing could touch him. Then he got into a terrible car accident and became paralized. During his long period in the hospital, his friends tried to cheer him up with jokes and such. When they left he said to his Dad "there will be plenty of time for jokes". His Dad with tears in his eyes said "yes son, there is a time for everything." Tyler looked at his Dad and said "NO dad. There is never a time for a bad attitude."

Tyler was on top of the world. But through fates turn had to percieve life all over again in a totally different way. Like he said there was no time for a bad attitude, and he excelled in his physical therapy getting better every day and exceeding every expectation with the goal of going to his graduation pushing himself in a wheel chair. He did it, though all odds told him that he couldnt. He did. Every waking moment was spent making himself better because he knew where he was going and what he wanted to do. Just like in sports...nothing could stop him. He got married to his highschool sweetheart and began a new journey with a totally knew perspective. He was on top of a totally different world.

I Connect with this story. So often when i think everything is going perfect for me, more often then not I'm brought down, and I've had to climb to the top again. Each time with a new perspective and new knowledge. I climb to the top of a totally different world. Lately, I've been very bitter about it though. Slow to remember the good things and the oppurtunities that now awaited me. That is something I want to fix. Though I probably will never be who Tyler was, his statement rings forever true..."there is never a time for a bad attitude!"
