Hi,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How’s it going?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you are doing well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well yesterday I went on a hike and it was very difficult. I actually have pictures but for some reason I can’t get them on to my computer to post.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am going to work on it. As soon as I have them, I will post them for everyone to see.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, yesterday I got into a big argument with someone about bipolar disorder.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This person has the disorder. Notice I said the person HAS bipolar NOT the person is bipolar. There’s a big difference don’t you think?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, the person said to me, “I suffer from bipolar disorder.” Then a few minutes later he referred to himself as a “bipolar suffer.” I said to him, he should strongly consider NOT saying these types of things.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He said “saying what?” I said, things like: \u00a0 I am a bipolar sufferer. I suffer from bipolar disorder .I am bipolar disorder<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I told him, “statements like that.” He said, “no really I do have bipolar disorder.” I said “I understand that but when you say these types of statements, I strongly believe you make your situation worse.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I went on to ask him, “why do you think you suffer from bipolar disorder? I said to him, “I know many people who have bipolar disorder that use it as an asset and they don’t suffer.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He then thought about it and got really mad and went on and on about how bipolar disorder had destroyed his life. I reminded him that now he is stable and doing okay, not great but okay. He really doesn’t apply himself all that much so he is doing okay.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I said to him, “I think your negative affirmations are hindering your success. You keep telling yourself a 1000 times a day that you suffer from bipolar disorder. Suffering equals lack of success and misery. So I really think your brain will work to make sure that you really indeed do suffer to some extent.”\u00a0 He started getting mad and saying that’s not true and that I don’t understand bipolar disorder. That’s what anyone with bipolar disorder says to me when I don’t agree with them.\u00a0 I do understand bipolar disorder and I do understand positive and negative affirmations.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Many people with bipolar disorder I find say NEGATIVE affirmations over and over again. The affirmations or statements wind up being a self fulfilling prophecy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Supporters do this as well. If you are a bipolar supporter and keep saying:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My loved one is never better My loved one is always sick Bipolar disorder is always going to destroy our family Bipolar disorder is a nightmare and you can’t manage it Doctors and therapists are all crooks Etc.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You get the idea. These are statements that my family use to say all the time. We got what we asked for so to speak. The person that I know who I got into the argument as been getting what he has been asking and saying for several years.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you agree?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my courses\/systems below, I go in great length things to and not to say. This is CRITICAL.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now you might be thinking, “Dave it’s easy for you to say. Your mom is now stable so you don’t have any problems.”\u00a0 Let me tell you this, first, one of the reasons my mom is stable is because my mom changed her attitude about bipolar disorder from “I can’t manage it and I won’t be successful” to “I can manage it and be successful.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Most people in the family (except my brother), now have a better attitude towards bipolar disorder. My dad still finds it hard to believe that I really do have many people that work for me that have bipolar disorder and they do tremendously well. Most people that I tell this to don’t believe me either.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One other thing. If you find yourself not knowing any successful people; if you don’t ever hear any success stories; if you find it really hard to believe that either you or your loved one can be successful with bipolar disorder, make sure you go thought my courses\/systems because there are MANY interviews that will change your attitude. I guarantee it. You will learn a ton.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am 100% against having a bad attitude. Many people in society do. They say things over and over again they actually don’t want to happen. When they do this over a long period of time, what they say starts becoming reality.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After trying to explain this to a person with bipolar disorder, he wound up getting mad and not wanting to talk about it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you agree or disagree with this concept that I am telling you about?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
