All You Have Is Positive Choice

Man, have I been tested.

The universe has been testing me non-stop since 2014. It’s coming at me at 1,000 miles an hour.

I’ve never been tested like this in my life, ever.

I’ve been tested with health stuff. I’ve been tested with stretching my limits. I’ve been tested in so many ways.

I’ve been tested in business.

I’ve been tested in friendship.

I’m a father. I’ve been tested with so much through that experience, you have no idea.

I’ve been tested as a father, and I’m being tested now as a brother.

I am constantly being tested and all I can do is choose to be positive. Keep reminding myself that all these lessons, all these tests are going to make me stronger, more invincible, more human, more sensitive, more caring, more present, more loving.

Everyone in my life knows that they can jump on me, confide in me. The other night I got news that came as a shock. I didn’t expect that, but the second I found out about it, I expected that verdict. I’ve been pretty prepared for it for a while, and I’m still in shock over it. I don’t choose to disclose what it is.

Don’t worry, my health is fine.

It’s not about me.

If it was about me, then I would have to fight it in whatever way I thought. I’m being tested right now so much. I actually cried for the first time in about seven years.

I’m not a man who really likes to cry. I’m not a man who really cries a lot, but I did because I was being tested. Things are happening that I didn’t expect to happen. Through it all, the only thing I can do is choose to be positive.

We Have the Choice to Stay Positive

Shit is going to keep happening in life as we age, get older, or people around us get sick, people die. Money is made, money is lost, kids get sick.

Relationships come to an end, friendships blow up.

You’re constantly going to be tested.

The universe is going to test you. The world is going to test you. Your health might test you. Your family’s health might test you. It’s all going to test you, and it’s going to keep testing you over and over again until you realize that the lesson in it all is to be positive, stay positive. You have no choice. Because when you’re not positive, you cause sickness in your body – mentally, physically – what I think is cancer in your body.

When you choose to be negative, you are choosing cancer. It’s poison. You can feel it going through your entire body. Stress goes through your body, you can feel it.

So I choose to stay positive.

I know right now you’re probably reading and thinking, man, I’m curious, what’s going on in his life?

What is he experiencing right now? How is he being tested?

If you have been reading me for a long, long time, you know that I will not share my private life. I will always keep my private life private. I’ll talk bits and pieces about it. I’ll talk in a round-about circle and maybe give a hint. Sometimes, I’ll even say a friend is going through something and it might be me.

I do this because my private life is so personal to me. But I want to share just enough so all of you can learn the lessons you need to learn, too. Boy, the universe is challenging me.

It’s challenging me non-stop every single day and I’m going to choose to be positive.

I’m going to choose to come out stronger than ever. And I’m going to choose love throughout this entire process.
