I wrote the other day that every day cannot be picture perfect, designed to one's exact specifications. Today, was one of those days you want you want to rewind and start over. It did not start well, but I made sure I learned something, made the effort to add value to someone's life and finished well.
Finishing well is a choice. There was a time in my life when I did not always make a positive choice. A bad start, like the one I had Tuesday, would have ruined my entire day, and sometimes the next day. or two days. I am doing better.
Obstacles, detours and delays should not stop you. They are opportunities to show who you really are.
Zig Ziglar said when something disappointing happens to someone with a positive perspective on life, they view it as an exception to the rule. Those people, he said, believe life is good and full of possibility and reward.
People with a negative perspective on life see daily setbacks as confirmation that life is nothing but a disappointing experience.
Ziglar believes, and so do I, that positive people don't react to life; they respond. Responding is positive, reacting is negative.
Today's Winning Thought: I hope your days are everything you want them to be. But regardless of how your day begins, be ready to make necessary adjustments so you can finish well.
