"People are about as happy as they make their minds up to be."
- Abraham Lincoln
Of course honest Abe always has some good advice for us, but I really enjoy this one in particular. Especially on a cold, rainy Wednesday morning when staying in bed sounds so much better than jumping out of bed and eagerly starting my day. No offense to my early morning clients :)
It is amazing to think about the power we have within ourselves and how what we think creates the reality we live. If we think we are getting sick, we start feeling symptoms. If we say we are tired, our energy drops. If we think its going to be a stressful day....yep, you guessed it... we feel stressed.
A friend once told me that we can chose if we want to believe our own thoughts. At first I wasn't quite buying it, but sure enough, the more I thought about it, the more I realized we do control our own thoughts, and the outcome that results.
So what will your day be like today? Positive? Exciting? Will you close a new business deal, have a great workout or cook a delicious healthy meal? Today, choose to be happy, choose to be successful and chances are....you will be.
