Keeping A Positive Attitude

 

Determination and a positive attitude make for a great winning team. This week on KidneyTalk Lori and Stephen visit with Jim Dineen, a fellow kidney patient, who knows something about determination and a positive attitude.

When Jim inquired about a kidney transplant, he was turned down twice.
But he didn’t allow that to stop him. Neither did the near death experience nor the…

From Vietnam in the 60’s to kidney failure in the 90’s, Jim has always checked his attitude and maintained a hopeful outlook. He hasn’t let the obstacles in life stop him from living.

He says, “I have, for many years, tried to live my life by these words: ‘If you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right!’” Jim thinks he can and he proves it with his unbeatable optimism, which is why we think he’s a winner!

Tune your dial to KidneyTalk and hear Jim’s encouraging story.
