Have you ever wondered why your day isn't going like you want it to? Things just don't seem to be working out the way you planned. Things go wrong or in a different direction and then you start to get mad or irritated about it. If your let yourself get upset about things, then everything will go wrong.
We are not always in control of what happens. We know how we want things to turn out and strive for that but sometimes it just doesn't happen. Did you know that it really doesn't matter most of the time that your day goes differently than planned? Barring something really terrible happening, in the grand scheme of things nothing is really so bad.
The way you handle situations makes a difference in how your day turns out. You can get up in the morning and be cranky and let it take over. See how your day goes with that attitude. Or you can wake up and make the decision to make this a really good day no matter what. Now see how your day goes with that attitude.
The way society and the economy is right now, we could all be in really bad moods all the time. We can't let it rule our lives. We have no control over any of that except what we are directly involved with (and even that control is iffy). We have to make the best of what we have and who we have in our lives. Surely there is something good in everyone's life that would make it all worth getting up in the mornings with an attitude of making it a wonderful day.
Try this...Smile!!! The next time you go to work or to the store just smile at someone. See if they smile back. Most of the time they will. Sometimes you could be the one that makes their day better. If you can make someone's day better, wouldn't you?
