How much attention do you pay to that outlet next to your bathroom sink?

Weird question, I know, but stick with me and you’ll see why this is important. (I promise this entire article is NOT about bathroom outlets!)…

If I had to guess, your answer is probably “none.”

That’s fair… I never used to either until I realized their significance.

These GFCI outlets saved young Bella’s life…

While taking a shower, this 6-year-old girl pulled the hairdryer into the stall.

Can you imagine this near tragedy?

Fortunately, her dad had installed GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets so as soon as the powered appliance came in contact with the water the GFCI circuit was disconnected before killing her.

Within a split second of live electrical power coming into contact with water, this specialized outlet disconnects the circuit to prevent electricity from rolling through and killing you, just as it did to save Bella’s life…

Kind of important if you ask me!

Sometimes in life, we need those little “shocks,” or wake-up calls, to help us refocus, as long as it’s followed by some sort of disconnect from whatever our current reality is at that moment.

GFCI outlets are essential in our lives (and required by code), making them a perfect reference for my version of the acronym:

GFCI: Gratitude, Forgiveness, Commitment and Intention

GFCI is a series of powerful mental exercises that will significantly change the way you develop a winning mindset and provide perspective in any situation, making it one of the most powerful mental tools you could ever invest your time and energy into mastering.

By drawing a comparison to the GFCI outlets in your bathroom, I’ve now created an instant trigger — a mental reminder every time you walk into your bathroom or see an outdoor outlet — to complete these quick mental exercises each day. I believe my version of GFCI will save your life from the shocks of the past as it has for me.

So, let’s break it down!
