1. Introduction

Be careful what you ask for because you will get it.

2. Philosophy

When we are clear about wanting something in our lives OR about things we do NOT want in our lives--we get it. You may remember that the Universe does not process negative words that come in our requests nor does our subconscious mind that fulfills on our requests. So when we ask for things not to happen the message received is that we want those very things to happen for us.

3. Lesson

In 1996 I was working as a psychotherapist in crisis care. I knew that I wanted to move into a different line of mental health work. I knew that fact and I thought about that fact AND I failed to take action on that deep desire.

Consequently the Universe moved me out of that facility and into a completely different way of working with mental and physical health issues. The method the Universe chose, for full impact so there was NO mistaking the result that I would leave that aspect of counseling, came in a physical attack that left me legally disabled with brain injury and unable to return to my previous work.

4. Choice

My friends and family were angry about my seeming loss. While I was scared (daily life had become a monumental struggle) wondering whether I would ever recover the life had once known, I was never angry.

I knew that person had done me a favor in taking me away from a place and work I wanted to leave. I was in for the adventure of my lifetime! Oh, I went on an unexpected journey to places I never dreamed I would visit while I learned to live in my altered mind-body. What an education!

5. Words

I remember telling myself that person had done me a favor. I remember telling myself that if I never got better maybe I was supposed to be an inspiration to others...which is exactly what happened.

Finally I told myself I wanted more in life, that I had to reach more people and I would do whatever it took to get back my life. When my sixteen member-medical team said, "This is as good as it gets. Learn to live with it" I chose to disregard their paradigm and create my own. And so I did get well again.

I am not the person I was before the attack. I am clearly (to myself and to my closest friends) different. And I LOVE the me I have grown to be.
