So I get these daily and sometimes think they are too good not to share....
Jim's Daily Awakenings for November 17, 2011
I believe in the wisdom of convenience store clerks.
I stopped by a convenience store the other day for a cup of coffee. As I started to leave the clerk said, "Have a good day."
My response was automatic, "I'm gonna try."
It was then that she added words that brought me to full alert. She said, "Don't let anyone mess up your day."
Do you understand what she was saying? She told me I did not have to be a victim. I could choose not to give anyone the power to destroy my day.
That is a wise word, isn't it?
Listen to me: You are in charge of your life. You can choose to have a good day today regardless of what people say to you or do to you. Don't let anyone mess up your day.
**AND I WORK WITH SOME SERIOUS TROLLS SO I KNOW THIS IS A CHALLENGE!**
