Ah! The Weather…
The weather is among the things that we have no control over. You got up this morning and had plans to go hiking, or some fun activity that you like to do either alone or with people that you love. Oh no! It’s raining. Now, what are you going to do?
First, you should look at your options: you can stay home and relax, read a good book, go get a movie. You can also go hiking any way, which will be a totally new way to experience this great activity.
“Have the serenity to accept the things which I cannot change, the courage to change the stings that I can change and the wisdom to know the difference between the two.”
More often that we think, we have the freedom to choose between positive or negative. That freedom is the space of freedom between a stimulus and the response that we choose to adopt. And this is one of the things that separate humans from animals!
Deciding to have a positive mental attitude no mater what is the most important decision we can ever make. By making this decision and reviving it every morning, we enter a world we all have access to, but that too few of us are willing to walk in. Because it increases our hope for the future, this simple decision enables us to develop discipline and mental toughness, which lead to perseverance.
Yes, I know, it's the old half-full-half-empty-glass thing, but when we want to create value, it's pretty much where we have to begin.
If anyone has found a better way, feel free to post your comments!
