The Power of Positive Self Talk: 
Today my “baby” goes to the city for surgery. Sure, he’s 12 years old, but he’s still my baby. His surgery is scheduled for 2:20pm Eastern time. He seems perfectly calm about it. If you could have heard him singing in the shower a couple of hours ago, you would never have believed he is facing something so big in the morning!!
He is amazed and awed at the fact that several hundred people are praying for him, many of whom are my online friends who don’t even know him!
He told me tonight that some of his school mates were telling him today of surgeries they’ve had.
“Isn’t it nice to know you aren’t alone?” I asked.
“Yeah, kinda,” he said. “But I know there are thousands of people out there having surgery every day.” He shrugged, as if it’s no big deal.
Positive self talk? You bet it is.
God is in control of every detail of our lives. He is sovereign. Nothing takes Him by surprise, and He makes it all turn out for the best for everyone involved. I KNOW from past experience that no matter what the outcome looks like to me at the time, it is all part of a bigger picture, and is for the best.
What is more natural than a mother worrying about all the things that could go wrong?
What is more powerful than a mother who focuses on everything that can go right?
What greater blessing for a little boy than a mother who verifies and strengthens his own positive view on what could be a very scary situation.
I’ve learned a lot from my young son in the past month!

(excerpted from his new book, Born to Win: Find Your Success Code)
I’m amazed at how little thought is given to making decisions. How decisions are made, why decisions are made, and when decisions are made is often taken for granted. Everyone expects to think seriously about decisions like marriage, having a child, or accepting a job offer that moves them hundreds of miles away from family, but they give little thought to the actual process of decision-making and the basis for making good decisions. It takes time to learn to consistently make good decisions, because good decisions require a certain amount of wisdom. That’s why a good decision maker can offer you advice that you can trust.
Great advisors and coaches consistently make good decisions and good choices because they have acquired a good deal of wisdom throughout their lives. How do you acquire wisdom, and how does it work in the decision-making process? Wisdom is acquired by gaining knowledge and learning to apply that knowledge to the daily events of life. The daily events of life are filled with decisions, and these choices create the results of our lives.
The kind of knowledge that creates wisdom is information that is true and correct. Information that is false is not authentic knowledge, and because it is false, it is not wisdom. Lots of people acquire false information, believe it is true, and make bad decisions as a result of that information. People who make good decisions have the ability to test the information they get and filter out the parts that are not true. This ability leads to the skill of good decision-making. These are the kinds of people you want as advisors and coaches. People who are good decision makers can help you develop the ability to test bad information and reject it. When you develop this ability, you, too, will become a good decision maker.
