“It’s my inner world that rocks ‘n rolls!”

Each day, we are presented with things
Beyond our control.
The weather.
A sick child.
Someone else’s bad mood.

But we don’t have to let those things
Bring us down.

It’s all about choices.

We make daily choices that benefit us
That exhibit our character
That validate who we are

Our wardrobe
Our attitude
Our spouse
Our job performance
To name but a few

We can dress up in nice clothes
Smile at strangers
Do nice things for our spouse “just because”
And work like it’s OUR money being spent on our time

OR

We can walk around looking like a slob
Complaining about everything
Acting like everyone is the enemy
And taking advantage of our employers
By surfing the net & making personal calls on their dime.

Which one exhibits better character?
Which one is a demonstration of good choices?

I am learning every day to make better choices.
I want to be a positive person.
I want to be happy.
I want to be wise.
I want people to see the person I am becoming,
Not the person I once was.

Martin J. Allsop has the right idea. Today he said, “What a beautiful day it is! No, not today’s weather, the English February weather is dull and grey. It’s my inner world that rocks ‘n rolls!”

So what’s your take on the weather today?
A. I wish it was sunny instead of overcast & rainy all day.
B. I love when I get a free carwash!
