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.

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.
