Do you ever just have one of those days where whatever you touch turns to chaos. I love it when I can do nothing wrong and everything I touch turns to gold, those days just seem like they come around so seldom. Most of the time I am fighting the chaos in life that I unfortunately create. Take today for example: Had a great time with God, went to a meeting with a guy who does a lot with the homeless in our community and as I am getting ready to leave I lock my keys in the car while running. That isn’t even the worst part, the worst part is that it is pouring down rain, I am now late for a conference call with my wife. So I am not in the rain trying to use a hanger I got from a local dry cleaner and just as I am about to get the locks to pop open the hanger slips out of my hand into the car. I end up calling a locksmith and it costs an arm, a leg and my first born to unlock my vehicle. Needless to say up until this point the day has not been great.
The thing about days like this is that a lot of times they would discourage me for not just that day but days afterwords. I have found that in life no matter what the circumstances, no matter how bad it gets, I have a choice. In life my attitude can either take me high or bring me low. You know our attitude determines our altitude in life.
How is your attitude doing?
Are you focusing on the problem instead of the solution?
Today I chose to have a good attitude while getting soaking wet, looking like a fool and paying out the wazoo for the locksmith and PEOPLE TOOK NOTICE. I had multiple people say to me negative things and I got the opportunity to share about how it doesn’t matter how bad it gets there is always a reason. I was able to connect and encourage a homeless man while stuck in the parking lot. The lady in the office where I was meeting was blown away at my attitude and commented on it.
What are people noticing about you?
