MAKE FAILURE YOUR BEST FRIEND

When you are able to learn from any bad experience and thereby turn it into a good experience, you make a major transition in life. For years I’ve taught something that I think gives useful insight on the subject of change:

People change when they . . .

Hurt enough that they have to,

Learn enough that they want to, and

Receive enough that they are able to.

I learned the truth of that statement on a whole new level on December 18, 1998. While at my company’s Christmas party, I felt an excruciating pain in my chest, and I went down for the count. I suffered a serious heart attack. My heart attack was a painful and surprising experience, but I feel that God was very good to me in that process. Several excellent physicians rallied around me and made it possible for me not only to survive but also to avoid any permanent heart damage.

My cardiologist, Dr. Marshall, told me that men who survive an early heart attack and learn from it live longer and healthier lives than those who never suffer a heart attack. I am determined to learn from the experience. I changed my diet. I exercise and try to live a more balanced life. I have to admit that it’s sometimes a struggle, but I’m persevering. I’ve taken to heart Jim Rohn’s comment: “Don’t let your learning lead to knowledge; let your learning lead to action.”

USE PAINFUL EXPERIENCES AS A CATALYST TO NOT ONLYLEARN BUT TO LEAD YOU TO GREATER ACTION.
