What's up guys Lincoln Campbell here, and you know I heard this like killer story today
and I wanted to share it with you guys just because it resonated so much with something
that happened in my life right. So I wanted to bring to you guys you know this powerful
thing that is probably affecting you or has affected other people that you probably know.
So it was a story about a gentleman who was a you know a brand-new business person and
those just getting into like business. And he ended up losing $200,000 in a botched venture
right. So what ended up happening was he felt like he was ruined and he thought that he
was disgraced. And the guy was actually referred to a saying by Epictetus. It said the men
are disturbed not by what happened but by their opinion of what happened.
And if I relate that back to my life and how it affects me I actually went through situation
into thousand six where he lost everything, including the woman that I loved about present
point in time. And I felt like I was over you know I felt like I was done have nothing
left. I had nothing else to live for, and I fell into a deep depression right. I was
crushed at that present point in time. Little did I know that that was just my opinion,
and what happened there was probably the best thing that could've happened to me in my life
because as a result of that I ended up finding the woman that I love, the woman of my dreams,
my wife today.
And to the point I'm trying to make is that so many of us in different situations of our
lives are put in that position where something tragic might happen and we think it's the
end of the world. In all reality it's just your opinion because you could bounce back
from that situation you know. You could bounce back from that situation using an aggressive
thinking right, and aggressive positive thinking. Like just attacking that situation rather
than falling victim to it.
All in all this gentleman through little bit of counseling and through really taking heed
to that saying was able to recoup everything in the next five years and make more money
than he's ever imagined in his lifetime. So you know that was just a story of how you
know to overcome a negative situation, and don't let your opinions create the outcome
of a negative situation.
Lincoln Campbell, that's my video for the day. I hope you enjoyed it, and hope you got
value.
