"Thankful for the Breast Cancer". . . this is what Diana Albritton of Albritton Insurance in Sebring, Florida, told me about her breast cancer experience.


The dictionary defines THANKFUL as appreciative, well pleased, conscious benefit received. How could anyone be grateful for such experience?

Recently, at one of our Think and Grow Rich Study Groups, we were talking about how there are two ways of ways of gaining conscious control over our mind:

1) Shock - Usually the result of a negative experience (car accident, near death experience) shock creates an immediate awareness to the situation

2) Auto-Suggestion: The most powerful of the two, also known as “self-talk.” (Which is choosing affirmations or statements to oneself).

Diana is an example of both of these. And what she has accomplished is also a great example of “The Law of Polarity” which tells us that there’s an opposite to EVERYTHING. You can’t have a left without a right, an up without a down, a bad without a good.

I recently read this about the Law of Polarity: Within the darkest of life's perceived trials and hardships lies the means as well as the ability to find and experience the light.


A few weeks ago, after an internet learning session with our online marketing consultant, Diane Miano, I had a nice visit with Diana Albritton who was one of the ladies taking the same class, and I was interested in learning how she got started in her insurance business and how well she was doing so I began to ask her questions.

In just two years in the insurance business, Diana had accomplished what most insurance agents would accomplish in ten. What I learned about Diana was something that I just knew I had to share with others, men and women.

Diana is the founder of Lunch Club Wednesday, a networking organization for business women in Highlands County, Forida. She started this just 3 years ago after a group of friends approached her about getting together for networking. Diane took the idea and ran with it and today, it is a 300+ member (and growing) women's networking organization which does not collect dues from its members.

Talk about an ACTION-oriented person. Well, my intent is not really to tell you about Lunch Club Wednesday but to tell you about Diana’s story.

You see, several years ago, she was at a seminar with some friends. One of them had what Diana describes as a funny looking key chain called Beads for Life (now known as Bead Positive). Her friend explained that the different sized beads represented the various sizes of lumps a woman might detect during self-checks for breast cancer. That very weekend, Diana discovered a lump just like one of the beads on that key chain. She credits her friend for saving her life. After a series of tests, the diagnosis was breast cancer. She went to have a mastectemy followed a year later by another one.


The more Diana shared with me about this incident and what happened the years to come after that, left me with this strong need to want to share with others.

In just about a 30 minute conversation, I heard many lessons about being thankful, positive, taking action, caring for others, setting goals, about family, changes, and on and on. I immediately asked her if she would feel comfortable if I interviewed her in front of a video camera so that I could share her story on our blog. Diana is one of the most unselfish, caring, giving women you’ll ever meet, so without hesitation she agreed.

I hope you take the time to view these and to share them with others who you think would benefit from Diane’s story.
