Last Wednesday I had an appointment to get my teeth cleaned.

As I sat in my dentist’s waiting room, I noticed the current copy of Reader’s Digest sitting on the table next to me, and one of the headlines IMMEDIATELY jumped out.

It read, “How These People Bounced Back From The Lowest Point In Their Lives”.

Upon seeing this headline, I immediately picked up the magazine, found the story, and immersed myself in it.

There’s a BIG lesson here about the importance of headlines, but that’ll have to wait for another day.

As I read through each of the personal accounts described in the story, I had incredible sympathy for these people.

Reading their stories caused me to have an emotional connection with them, even though I didn’t know them personally.

But…

What I really took away from these stories was the fact that every one of these individuals bounced back from the lowest point in their lives.

You see, every day we’re faced with adversities, challenges and hurdles.

Problem is, most folks make a mountain of this kind of thing.

We’ve all heard the saying, “making a mountain out of a mole hill”, and that’s exactly what most people do.

I remember a recent conversation I had with a client, and how excited I was for him.

The two of us had been brainstorming a plan, that when implemented, would give him a HUGE windfall.

Truth is, this guy was sitting on a goldmine.

A couple days later, I hear back from him. He informs me that he hit a snag in our plan, and as a result, he didn’t want to continue on with it.

As he’s telling me this, I’m thinking to myself, “Are you off your rocker? You’re going to let a little thing like this stand in your way”.

And just is case you’re wondering, yes, he allowed that small obstacle to bring the entire project to an immediate halt.

As you read my account of this, you might wonder how he could do such a thing, yet the truth is, people do this all the time.

They continually talk themselves out of doing what they want to do.

When I think back to when I made the decision to quit fishing in Alaska and start my own business, things could have easily come to a grinding halt.

My wife at the time got angry with me for having such an idea, and told me that if I insisted on going through with such a crazy scheme, she was going to divorce me.

And that’s exactly what she did.

She filed for divorce, and left me.

Talk about a low point in my life.

That had to be the lowest point of my ENTIRE life.

But…

The good news is – I bounced back.

And I bounced back bigger then ever.

So, here’s my advice for you, go pick up the latest edition of Reader’s Digest, the May 2009 issue and read that article for yourself.

And as you do, start planning YOUR big bounce back.
