What's your Story line today?

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

What kind of day did you decide you were going to have today? If you woke up and thought "I'm tired, grumpy and I just want today to hurry up and get done," you might notice that the rest of your day follows suit. You might perceive that there are all kinds of things that just seem to annoy you. It may appear as though some people got up this morning and plotted and planned on how to get in Your way today. Drivers on the road, the teller at the bank, the cashier at the store, fellow co-workers and even complete strangers might seem to be actually oblivious to you and your needs, your mood and your comfort level! How is this possible!?

But wait a minute. What if it's not them? What if the reason they seem to be unaware of you is because they are too busy with themselves and what is going on in their life today? What if they are thinking some of the same things AND because of how you are reacting to them, they think that you plotted and planned to disturb their day!?
STOP! the story line and make your day easier for you and everyone in your sphere of influence. Simply make NEW decisions that will trigger a new story.

Perhaps other people are having a bad day because they are tired, grumpy and they just want today to be over with. Perhaps You could decide to smile and say "Have a great day today!" (yes even if you're not sure it will be) Perhaps you could laugh to yourself when that driver swerves around you in a big hurry to get ahead so he could be the first to slam on his brakes at the next light, thinking "Wow that could have been me today"

Perhaps you could stop and ask yourself as you go through your day today, "What else might be going on with this person or with this situation? And is it possible it may have nothing to do with me personally?"
Then perhaps you could show some compassion, patience and humor to those around you and DECIDE that You are going to turn this day into something great and invite others to join you and those that still want to be tired and grumpy - well- let them. They are entitled to their decisions too.

Now that you have decided to make the best of the rest of your day today watch how it unfolds dramatically different.
And tomorrow you may decide from the very start that it is indeed going to be a great day!

Affirm:
I have decided to enjoy the rest of my day and I will have compassion and patience for those who have decided differently.

Have a Great Thursday ending!
