Have you ever had one of those mornings where everything seems to be going wrong? Imagine, if you will, all of the following happening in one morning:
1. You wake up and step in a pile of cat vomit.
2. The shower runs out of hot water before you're done.
3. You gag while you clean up cat vomit.
4. Your kids miss the bus.
5. You can't find your keys.
6. You find your keys, but your car won't start.
7. You spill food on your only clean uniform.
8. Your computer crashes while finishing up that important document.
If all of these things happened to you, what would that do to the rest of your day?? I think many people would say their day would be ruined. They would want to crawl back into bed and try to restart! "It's just going to be one of those days," they might think.
Well, if you tell yourself you're going to have a bad day, what do you think happens? You have a bad day! Weird, isn't it? Do you know why that is? Because your brain is trying to prove it!!!
So... after you get all cleaned up and you get your car started, you encounter a red light. Even though that light is red 50% of the time, today it is red because today is a bad day!! You will find ways to prove it's a bad day and you will look for the negative in absolutely everything.
Did you know that YOU have the power to turn your day around? It's all about your attitude and how you choose to think! You truly are a powerful being. Chances are, you haven't noticed your power yet.
Let's say you are aware of your personal power (and your personal responsibility for your whole life) and all of those things happen to you in one morning. How might you choose to think about these events? Maybe you could consider them "adventures." I have thought to myself on more than one occasion, "wow, I've had a lot of adventures this morning!" Perhaps you, a very powerful person, would choose to refrain from making any guesses about the rest of the day and just marvel at how amazing you are for having overcome so many obstacles before the day really even got started! That's something to be proud of, right?
No matter what happens in your life this morning, I hope you choose to have a fantastic day!
