The Secret To Success From Robert Kiyosaki!

I WAS HIT HARD- BUT TOOK CONTROL!

 

I was hit 29 years ago with a very mysterious and debilitating disease, which totally change the course of my life. In April 1982 over the course of four days, shortly before my 26^th birthday, I lost vision in my left eye.  Saying I was concerned, anxious, and scared would be an understatement.  This condition was diagnosed as optic neuritis.

 

The greater concern now was, will my right eye be affected also?  I was repeatedly assured by my ophthalmologist that that was not likely to happen.  I was very skeptical though of any such assurance.  My problem was no one was able to say  how or why I came down with optic neuritis.  As far as I was concerned, one eye was hit out of the blue, and so could the other.  They didn’t know the reason, so they could not say why not.  So common sense told me to prepare myself for the possibility of further vision loss.  And fortunately I did.

 

Thirteen months later it hit, the unlikely happened.  Optic neuritis struck for the second time. Within three days my vision was gone from my right eye, leaving me totally blind.  This was the worst thing that could have happened to me, to anyone, or so I thought. Little did I know that the worst was yet to come.

 

Some 19 months later I found myself totally paralyzed from my nipple line down.  I kind of a prepared myself for loss of vision.  I did this by looking at persons I knew were visually challenged but successful.  One of the first was Stevie Wonder, then Ray Charles, and Jose Feliciano.  Since then I discovered many other successful blind individuals.  My take was, they were successful in spite of their visual challenge, therefore, so can I.  This certainly was not the worst thing that could have happen to me, I could have been dead.  So let me deal with it!

 

As I mentioned before, I was prepared for and was dealing with my visual challenge.  I say this because, after my loss of vision I got married and started a business.  But now paralysis! How was I going to deal with it?  It was just little over ten months earlier that I had gotten married, and 3 months earlier that my cute little angel was born.  How was I going to take care of my wife and child?  I had no answer, especially since I had to shelve the business because it was young and not self-sustaining.

 

My diagnosis was a disease of which I had no prior knowledge.  What made it even more confusing was that the doctors were saying that this disease was rare in the region I was living. As was believed then based on the available knowledge, I should not have come down with it, especially because of my genetic makeup.  The devastating diagnosis was multiple sclerosis (MS).

 

Now the questions were: What is MS?  Can it be cured?  Will I be permanently disabled, or is this temporary?  I started to ask and began to dig for as much information as I could get.  There wasn’t much available, computers were unheard of as a common household item. The little I got painted a foreboding picture.  From what I was being told and what was read to me I was going to be bedridden, needing total and permanent care.

 

The most important questions were though: What was I going to do to care for the financial needs of my family?  What could I do to beat the odds?  Was this rogue disease going to take control of me? or was I going to take control of it?  I had to make a decision.

 

I did make the decision, there was only one choice to make, that was to fight and take control and not allow some mysterious disease to take over my life.  And fought I did, and control I claimed.

 

How did I manage to do that?  What was the battle like?  How did I succeed?  What did I ultimately gain for my efforts, and from the challenge?

 

I will be sharing all in progressive video and Script postings.  There I will explain how the lessons learned can help you achieve your own success.  It is my desire to support, encourage, and inspire you.  If you have the will you will be shown the way.

 

I have no doubt that anyone can be successful.  It just means that one has to commit oneself to his or her chosen goal.  Being willing to give whatever it takes to realize it.

 

You want to?  You can!  And you will!

YOU CAN BE A REAL HELP TO SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT

 

This is something I try to communicate to others from time to time, and it is my wish to communicate it to you. Hearing it from someone else really thrills me, because it tells me I am not alone.

 

Please don’t get me wrong though, I am not afraid to stand alone on something I am convinced is true or right. I don’t mind endorsement, as a matter-of-fact I love it, but I don’t need it to take a firm stance.

 

I have seen so many people hesitating and not moving forward, sometimes backing of totally from what they supposedly have strong belief in. And why? Because it was questioned, or maybe not supported or endorsed by someone else. Thus hindering or depriving themselves and others of what they might have achieved, created or discovered.

 

Sorry for ranting and straying from the point I was intent on making about how you can spare yourself some distress and really help someone. I couldn’t say it any better than Dani Johnson does in this video, so please watch:
