I didn&#8217;t<br \/>even know it was suppose to snow today.<br \/>But I like the snow. It was much better<br \/>back when I could have &#8220;snow days&#8221; and<br \/>get a day off from school. Now, my<br \/>boss is so demanding I don&#8217;t get days <br \/>off (I am my own boss \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I wanted to write a quick note<br \/>on something that I thought of&#8211;the<br \/>bipolar disorder lesson from the Giants<br \/>football team.<\/p>\n<p>Last night was the Super Bowl. The Super <br \/>Bowl is when two football teams play<br \/>each other for the championship at<br \/>the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Football is the sport where there is a <br \/>ball that people throw around. If you<br \/>are from another country, just <br \/>run a search in google to find out.<\/p>\n<p>Why am I explaining this? Well I have<br \/>had over 175,000 people sign up for<br \/>my list and there are lots of international<br \/>people that might not know.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s the deal. The New England<br \/>Patriots were undefeated the entire season.<br \/>The expected to win and win big against<br \/>The Giants. ALL experts predicted this.<\/p>\n<p>The experts said New England was the greatest<br \/>team EVER and that there was NO chance<br \/>the Giants could win. <\/p>\n<p>Well guess what? The Giants did win. <\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the bipolar lesson? It&#8217;s that<br \/>sometimes you have to take what experts<br \/>in the mental health field say with <br \/>a grain of salt&#8211;or ignore it. Especially<br \/>when it comes to who can become successful<br \/>or get bipolar disorder under control.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a bipolar supporter, you will<br \/>be faced with a steady stream of negatively<br \/>probably. Many from those in the mental<br \/>health field. You may hear:<\/p>\n<p>-your loved one won&#8217;t get better<\/p>\n<p>-your loved one is a mess<\/p>\n<p>-your loved one can&#8217;t ever do this<br \/>that and the other thing and won&#8217;t be normal<\/p>\n<p>-you&#8217;re loved one will keep being out of control<br \/>forever<\/p>\n<p>-there&#8217;s little hope<\/p>\n<p>How do I know? Experts told me this about my<br \/>mom. Not only did experts tell me this, my own<br \/>family doubted there was hope for my mom.<\/p>\n<p>BUT many times, these experts are wrong.<\/p>\n<p>If you have bipolar disorder, you&#8217;ll hear<br \/>a lot of negative stuff as well:<\/p>\n<p>-you&#8217;ll never be stable<\/p>\n<p>-you&#8217;ll never be able to beat bipolar disorder or<br \/>control it<\/p>\n<p>-you&#8217;ll never be able to start that business you<br \/>want to start<\/p>\n<p>-you&#8217;ll never find the right combinations of medications<\/p>\n<p>etc.<\/p>\n<p>Even though many times this is totally not true.<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t let negative experts bring you down.<br \/>Now you should welcome realistic thinking like:<br \/>&#8220;bipolar is a serious condition and requires<br \/>a serious treatment plan that may take an extended<br \/>period of time to get just right&#8221; but not the<br \/>kind of statements that suggest success can<br \/>never be reached.<\/p>\n<p>If I look at everyone that works for me with<br \/>bipolar disorder, ALL were told they were hopeless<br \/>and that they basically could not control bipolar.<\/p>\n<p>It was suggested that Michele Soloway that works for<br \/>me be permanently put in an institution for the rest<br \/>of her life. &#8220;They&#8221; said there was no hope for her.<br \/>Well, she now works for me and is one of the most<br \/>incredible people I have ever worked with. What she<br \/>gets done is amazing. Not to mention<br \/>all the other people who work for me with bipolar<br \/>disorder.<\/p>\n<p>Actually I was just thinking of something. Over<br \/>the years, my mom racked up massive d.ebt through<br \/>her episodes to the tune of over $30,000. That&#8217;s<br \/>a ton.<\/p>\n<p>I was told by experts in the mental health field<br \/>that there was NO way she could pay it all off. It<br \/>was impossible I was told. Guess what? I put together<br \/>a system and this month, she made her last payment.<br \/>She paid it ALL off herself. ALL. <\/p>\n<p>If I could figure out how to use my scanner, I would<br \/>scan all the sheets I have over the years showing<br \/>how she incrementally paid it off slowly but surely.<\/p>\n<p>In my courses\/systems:<\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11\">http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com\">http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net\">http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Virtually every success story that I have <br \/>as an interview reveals the odd were<br \/>against them and they were told success<br \/>was unlikely.
