Women Who Make The Difference
When Oprah Winfrey decided to take responsibility for her life
she never looked back. She moved ahead. What two new decisions
could you make to move you ahead? She exhibited a tremendous
change in her thoughts years ago when she decided, never again.
Never again will I settle for less than I can be. Stop right now
and think of a moment of ecstasy. Something that gives you
ecstasy. Make the picture bigger and brighter. Make the sounds
clearer and louder. Now, make the feelings more intense. How
good do you feel? This is called the mind-body connection. The
mental side of it all. This is more powerful than you could have
thought. Most people think Mother Theresa started off this
wonderful, compassionate person. She didn't. She started a
school teacher, one day walking down the streets of Calcutta she
had an experience that little did she know it would change her
life forever. She heard the cries of a sick man. She desperately
tried to get him to a hospital, and at arriving at the first
hospital was told they wouldn't treat him because he was too
poor. She pleaded with them that he was going to die and needed
attention. Still they refused. She took him all the way to a
second hospital. There she was also told they wouldn't treat
him. She pleaded again. Finally she went to a third, they
refused also. Finally the sick man died in her arms. She made a
decision right there. As long as she is around, no one would
suffer unnecessarily. These simple actions changed her life. Now
she has left a trail of influence. Doctors in ancient Egypt used
faeces on wounds. We now know this infuses the wound with
bacteria, but back then it was accepted beyond a shadow of a
doubt because that's what everybody believed. Doctors used to
prescribe a common drug called "DES" to pregnant women. Now we
know it causes birth defects, and thousands of women are seeking
damages for genital cancers and inability to conceive. People
believed the world was flat for hundreds of years, everyone
believed it was flat, they were certain about that. How absurd
does that come across to you now? Since a gentleman named
Christopher Columbus sailed around the world and pointed out it
was round, now everyone believes its round. Most people do what
the majority does. On December 1st, 1955 a fiercely determined
young black woman named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat
to a white woman. Little did she know at the time, this one
action would lead to steps that would change the future for
years to come. Anyone who picks up a program like this,
certainly not you and I, wouldn't settle for less than we can
be. May a friendly relationship begin. Stop and decide right now
who you are committed to being, to take yourself to the next
level. Decide right now that following through on this is an
absolute must for you. Stop right now and think, what will it
cost you if you don't take steps to increase your feelings of
wellbeing? What will you miss out on if you don't take action to
increase your energy now? Nobody who reads this article would
settle for less than the very best.
