Yesterday I sent you the testimonial Dr. Wade Smith, an orthopedic trauma surgeon in Denver, sent in. You can read it below if you missed it.
Well, today I want you to read the words from one of his patients. It’s a very moving story. My response will follow – showing a side of me you may not know about:
Matt,
Hope you get this. I have been wanting to share my story with you so here it is:
October 11th 2007, I was hit but a ford truck driven by a young male while I stood on the side of the freeway. I am a motor officer for the state of Colorado.
I have been a proud state trooper for thirteen years.
To make it a bit shorter the other trooper that was standing next to me was killed and only by the grace of God was I spared. It has been a long year and my legs, knees and ankles have healed but there is a lot of pain. I have titanium in both legs from the waist down.
I saw my trauma surgeon from Denver health medical center a few weeks ago to discuss some upcoming operations.
Anyway he introduced me to you and I purchased a book and I really do know that it helps. Dr Wade Smith is a huge fan of yours and I trust and respect him. Well, he did save my life.
Anyway Matt, thanks for motivating me. You have really helped me. And if you have any other suggestions or want my story I want you to use it if you can. It is obvious that you care.
Feel free to communicate with me. Thanks brother.

MJF: Scotty, my brother – I’m happy you are alive and getting better each day. Thanks for sending in this story. In reply I can tell you that we are never given a difficult challenge without it being balanced in some unknown way by other benefits that eventually make you shrug and say, “Aaah, I understand now.”
When I was 19 and had my face split wide open in a bar – I, too, was lucky to not only live – but to be able to see. The lacerations barely missed my temple and the veins that would have ended everything. The doctors were amazed I could still see with all the glass in my eye. One said to me, “Someone upstairs must have been looking out for you.”
For many years I could not control a twitch in my face – and at times, even today, it does a reappearing act, reminding me once again to stay focused.
I often wondered what was the meaning – but in May of 2005, on my birthday, no less, when I became the rightful owner of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, Inc. and all intellectual property written and created by Dr. Maxwell Maltz – I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that 23 years earlier – a cosmic play with a plan was set into motion.
{BTW, if you’re not getting my Psycho-Cybernetics emails – go here and sign up now.)
You have BIG DAYS and much GOOD in store for you. The pain you have suffered will be balanced out with something that may not currently comprehend.
I wish you all the best.
I have a few gifts I’d like to send you. Drop a line to my office with your address and I’ll be sure to have them ship them along to you.
Thanks again for writing.
Matt Furey
