Corporate-gift-basket:
Life is Becoming More Positive by The Day Everything in my life is really jelling; It's like I'm in a TV movie as the main character with a purpose driven life as scripted. I'm just wandering when I am going to wake up from this dream. It is January 1991 and working with this company for 4 years (in March). March next year on my anniversary will qualify me to receive a company diamond ring and a pay raise to 6 figures and extra bonuses. And now I'm back home in Los Angeles to build the 105 freeway. This is the freeway that will run from Norwalk to L.A. International Airport (LAX). It's kind of funny, the first project I worked was repaving the left runway and taxiways for LAX. One morning, as I prepared to go to work, something was terribly wrong. Corporate-gift-basket: A Turn For The Very Worst This is the communication my wife and I had, she also noticed something unusual. I had slurred speech & my words were garbled. Words like 'rosencranse', there is no such street in Los Angeles. Anyway, I went to the job site, opened the building, turned on all the computers, as all of the engineers would be in shortly. Made coffee and began managing payroll. The project manager just walked in. As I turned to put some time-sheets in order, I became stumped. I didn't know what to do next. The project manager noticed it also. He said, "Just relax yourself." He then called my brother and asked him to take me to the hospital. Within less than 10 minutes we were on our way. The Doctor asked me several questions; all were simple with no answers from me. He then gave me a pencil and paper for me to write my name, there is only one right answer. He turns to my brother and said, "He has had a stroke. We are going to keep him." Corporate-gift-basket: By far The Worst Days of My Life At that point I began to cry, not whaling, just tears. The doctor comforts me as he explains that crying is a normal reaction with stroke victims. All the time, I am thinking about how close, 14 months and I would have completed my career goal for my family and me. I then began to cry more. For the next month I stayed in this hospital. After that I was enrolled in therapy sessions for the next 6 months. After 3 months my therapist asked, "Would I like to try going back to work." I said, "I would like to try." She took me to the job site. After maybe five minutes I was in tears again. I don't see ever going back to my regular job again (at least no time soon). My therapist had to agree with me. That exercise made me feel more 'disabled', even though I'm making great progress (it that makes any since). I made up my mind (what's left of it) to spend as much time and energy to re-learn what I've learned before the stroke. I am a joker but not a quitter. Quitting is another way of saying surrender. Corporate-Gift-Basket: Past Milestones Like Finding Wisdom One fine day, a package came for me. It was a corporate-gift-basket. Attached to the corporate-gift-basket is a card signed by all of my friends at the company. The corporate-gift-basket incensed me. Bitter-sweet feelings went all through me all at once. My personal goal was only oh so close, yet so far away. This small business was my house of cards. When they sent the corporate-gift-basket, I started to wonder if they were really in touch with what I was really feelings inside. Was the corporate-gift-basket just a ploy to see how I really felt about them? Was that small business just sending a corporate-gift-basket just as a normal course of things to do in this situation? Or, was the corporate-gift-basket a real sincere act? After receiving the corporate-gift-basket, there were many unresolved issues in the back of my mind that still haunt me to this very day. Should I pursue them? I think not. Although, the main question about everyone signing the same card that was attached to the corporate gift, really puzzled me. Had it been anyone that really truly cared for me, they would sign the corporate-gift- basket card and send a personal gift and card (I think). The people that I thought were close to me in the company didn't call or try to follow-up to see how things were panning out personally. Just as I was putting the finishing touches, the whole world shook; the only thing left standing was my shattered dream and of course the corporate-gift-basket. It could have been worst. Corporate-Gift-Basket: Insult and Injury In 1998 I had another stroke (another milestone), and again in 2000 (another milestone). Each of those strokes took another part of me physically. Each of them were blessings in disguise that invigorated me to push through those hard times and to see another day with fresh eyes. As long as I live, I will always have milestones (whether I am aware of them or not). Each milestone that I am aware of tends to lead me to an ultimate truth in my life. When I apply the knowledge, I see actual growth leading to a greater lifestyle. Previously, I was terribly short-sited and narrow in my thinking. Corporate-gift-basket: Conclusion Today I am totally optimistic. The corporate-gift-basket (milestone) I received in 1991 was the under-pining that drove me to see the real truth with new eyes (figuratively speaking). Yesterday is dead and burned up, tomorrow is not promised to anyone, this moment has promise, (only) as long as I stay active and always moving forward. I don't let moss grow under my feet. Each moment is actually a milestone of my life (God willing). It has been almost one day since I really started living my true dream life; the longer I live to realize my next milestones (and apply the truth in them) then, every moment becomes a milestone to potentially enhance my life & lifestyle. Now I look at my 1991 corporate-gift-basket (milestone) as bought knowledge not devastation. _________________________________________ Success seems to be connected with action.
