I was sent this story as a PowerPoint presentation today by a friend. I thought that it was wonderful and I needed to share it with all of you. .

Two men both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the rooms only window.
The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon, when the man in the bed could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roomate all the things he could see outside of the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and colour of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst folwers of every colour and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene. One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band, he could see it in his minds eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days, weeks and months passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As son as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn and look out the window beside the bed.

It faced a brick wall.

The man asked the nurse what would have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.

Epilogue:
There is tremendous happiness in making others happy despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all things you have that money cant buy. Today is a gift that is why it is called The Present

There are so many points for you to take from this story:

We are all so busy trying to make it in life that we often miss how grateful we should be for the smaller things in life, like, having someone to talk to or someone to share our day with.
What a wonderful thing it is to make someone elses day a little brighter, no matter what is going on in yours. If you take on this attitude then you will attract more of the same into your life. It really is a win-win situation.
The power of visualisation to change our lives completely. You can take yourself to a different place, where life may be as you want it. You can take yourself to a place where you are feeling different emotions. It shows that through visualisation you have the power to create a different life for yourself. If you want something different in your life and you want it immediately then visualise yourself having it.
Today is a gift that is why it is called The Present. You want to be visualising your future goals, but dont forget to live in the present, in the moment. Be grateful for all you have and enjoy the time you have right now. It is said that a year in the future is closer to you than 10 minutes ago because you can never go back to that time, only forward.
Grasp life with both hands. Be grateful for everything you have right now, big or small. Use visualisations to picture what your future will be.

I hope you enjoyed the story as much as I did.

When we look at the law of attraction as a focal point for our lives now and into the future we must develop our mindset. The mindset of success is building on success, the ability to adapt to, but never accept failure. At times things will not go as planed. There will be glitches, mistakes, bungles and setbacks, but no failures. The law of attraction and our mind set must combine; give us strength and inner power to prevail against all odds.

Entrepreneurs are often asked, “What is the hardest decision they have had to make?” Most answer they dont know what a “hard decision” is. Why? Because they approach decision making with a mindset and concept that states there is a strong possibility that they will be wrong. There mindset lets them know they will do there best and they will handle the obstacles as they arise.

The law of attraction tells us to believe and manifest our desires. Have the wrong mind set and how can we believe? How can we succeed? Entrepreneurs realize that they will make mistakes, but look to make them as quickly as possible so they can learn and develop new strategies from them. The law of attraction is all about mindset, about belief within ourselves and in our self talk. Make your own mistakes learning tools and a passage forward, not stumbling blocks and reasons for things not working as you planed.

Mindset is all about developing your inner self, going with gut feeling that feel right, using your intuition. Lets face it all your inner feeling are being built of the exposure to life experiences, knowledge you have gained, courses you have attended and mentoring from those around us. Mindset is to trust yourself, it will not always be perfect but more often than not, you can work your way through or around the issues that arise. Dont let the checks and balances destroy good ideas. Learn to take risks, go with your instincts, while you remodel you mindset.

To achieve the outcomes from the law of attraction in personal your life and your business, you have to practice being a manifestor of ideas. Its not a course that available at schools and colleges, let alone on the internet, it is learned in the school of life as you progressively move forward from small manifestations to larger and more complex. The law of attraction and our mindset must become one with each other.

Your mindset must move from a current restrictive set of standards and beliefs and build to even higher standards in both behaviour and manifestation actions. Although appearances may be more noticeable than facts, our mindset must hold both as equal. In time, our actions will become more powerful than appearance, for we will be on a higher plan where appearance is not what our self-esteem or mindset needs for us to feel for filled.

You must learn to project yourself forward with confidence, if you are to be successful in bringing the bounty of the law of attraction into your life. As you commence the journey, you havent the faintest idea how you are going to achieve the things you want. All that you can take with you is blind faith that others have achieved that which you now seek over countless generations around the world. Mindset, mindset and mindset is the key just as position, position, and position is for estate agents. Law of attraction and our mind set go hand in hand.

The law of attraction and manifesting is your entry key into a life of plenty that will be supplied under the universal laws.

To protect your faith that youre in control and working with the right mindset, always ask yourself these two questions:

1.Could this be interpreted by anyone in a way that would shake his or her faith in me?
2.Could this be misinterpreted and held against me?

Strong leaders know that leadership is a lifelong learning experience, and when they make a mistake they simply continue to move forward. The innate ability to bounce back quickly following any setbacks is a quality that your mindset must have. It is a mark of the persons mindset and inner abilities to see the positive from any letdowns to there manifestations, should they occur.

When you blunder, get up and try again quickly. As one high-tech executive said, “Our strategy is to fail forward fast.” So fail as and when you do, but do not look backwards, as the past is history and will not be changed it, can only be altered by minor viewpoints.

Working as an attorney can be fascinating, monetary-friendly and captivating. On the other hand, they can also experience feelings of extreme regret, strain or disengagement after dealing with criminals throughout a long career. Of course, the drawbacks and the benefits will vary dependant upon the individual themselves. There are many people who are unsure if this is really the correct career path for them until they have already made it through law school at which point there is no real hope of turning back.

It is very exciting being a lawyer. If you are a criminal attorney then you will be involved in intricate cases with a lot of highbrow sparring. People who like debating, high-stake scenarios and drama, a career in law will be very fulfilling. Defending your case against a qualified legal professional is often quite engaging and entertaining.

Although some forms of law may not appeal to certain individuals, another wonderful thing about a career as a lawyer is that since our legal system is so intricate, there is a myriad of types of law that one can practice. As an example, there is even such a thing as an entertainment lawyer, who works in any number of places within the entertainment industry. Additionally, as the additional benefit, a career as a lawyer promises one of the best paid jobs in America. A lawyer’s income is only rivaled by other incredibly high paid professions

Then again, this all requires hard work and can be quite exhausting. You have to be on the top of your game all the times given that you never know when an important case would pop up that might baffle you completely. The future is never certain, or even predictable, in this career. It can be hard; there is always the possibility of failure.

Some lawyers will inevitably become the victims of threats or violence. When an attorney takes on a case against a member of an organized crime group, things can get violent. Lawyers are sometimes faced with death threats unless they back off their prosecution. While these threats from crime syndicates are not always real, they can be very stressful to the lawyer and their family.

On the whole, the life that a lawyer leads is very exciting and his job is extremely lucrative from a monetary point of view. Having said that,it is definitely not for faint of heart or those that cannot cope with the stress that comes along with the job. Therefore, prior to taking out massive student loans for law school, make sure you know this is exactly the career you want.
