I stared into those biggest of navy blue eyes and felt the power of his fighting spirit, despite the pain and week long raging fever. Most of the time my heart was in my throat and my mind was awash with counter-productive thoughts like, "why him?" and "this isn't fair!"This wasn't helping him to be sure (my daughter was much stronger than I), but in spite, he not only survived the arduous ordeal, but he emerged the victor!I am talking about my infant grandson, Corbin Nicolas, clobbered with a serious infection of the lymph glands. This tiniest of gladiators toughed out what few adults could have and not only amazed his wonderful pediatrician and hospital staff, but I feel profoundly and positively impacted them.My precious bundle of joy is not a superhuman little being. He is simply a child, like any other, who knows no different than to fight the fight and win!Now I ask you: what if YOU knew NO other way than to just go out and win? Well, that's how the true achievers of this world think 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Further, it is the lack of this thinking process that is most often the sole difference between success and failure.When failure is perceived as a possibility, it will most likely become your reality.

But, it IS achieved!Personally, and most probably, I'm at least an entry-level workaholic with enough Virgo perfectionism to allow my thinking to stray off course at times.
