"You may not be able to control the events that occur during the day, especially those events that are unexpected and challenging. But, you definitely have a choice whether you are going to allow these events to ruin your day, and how you are going to face these challenges." ~Barry Gottlieb
Do you ever get up "on the wrong side of the bed?" Ever had a "bad hair day?" Ever feel like everything is going wrong and it will never get better? How do you handle them? Do you let them ruin your day or do you change your mindset before leaving the house? You do have a choice in how you respond to those events. Be sure to exercise that choice. Don't stay stuck in that negativity.
Too many people have allowed themselves to stay stuck in that negativity. They enjoy being there! It's the pain they know which will always be less than the pain they don't know. If that's you, start counting your blessings. You're alive. You live in the greatest country in the world (the one everyone else in the world wants to come to) and so on. You could probably count 100 blessings in 5 minutes. Well, that 5 minutes would be the best time spent to get you out of that negativity.
Stephen Covey said "If you start to think the problem is 'out there,' stop yourself. That thought is the problem." Too often we get caught up in thinking the problem is 'out there' when it is really with us. Realize that you are in control of your life, no one else is. It will be your choice to either react or respond. Reaction is without thought. Response requires thought. Always respond, never react.
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!
