It’s A Choice

by Debbie Franklin on June 5, 2009

choice and gratitudeMy morning started off beautiful — the sun was shining (after so much rain), I took the puppy for a short walk – enjoying the cool morning, poured myself a cup of coffee, and I was looking forward to my day.  I sat down at my desk, opened my email, and was slammed by a situation that completely took me by surprise. 

I took care of the issue and began to work on other things, but  I realized how much my mood had changed, how unfocused I was, and how my emotions had physically changed how I was feeling!  I even stated “there goes my day!”

Then it hit me — NO, my emotions are NOT controlled by outside forces, they are controlled by ME!  I have a choice about how I look at a situation, my day, my life, it is all a CHOICE and it is MINE!

I took a few minutes and refocused myself.  Being in gratitude always does that for me — thinking of all the things I am thankful for at that moment, looking over what I had already planned for the day and DECIDING — it is going to be a FABULOUS day!

So, if your morning didn’t start off as you first anticipated — take a few minutes, recenter yourself and then make a DECISION on what a great day it is going to be!

To Your Success!
