Today Will Only Be As Good As You Make It

It seems to me that society is more inclined to focus on the negative aspects of life instead of the positive. I believe this is why so many people are down about things—they’ve focused so much of their energy on negative forces that they have subconsciously dragged themselves down to a negative place. This is a cycle of life that I have no interest in.

I’ve talked before about how awesome youthful enthusiasm is and I believe it applies here. A child can play with a cardboard box for hours—it becomes a clubhouse, a grocery store, a rocket ship etc…--it becomes exactly what they want it to become and it brings joy to their life. An adult should be doing the same thing in a way—take a situation, figure out how to make it a positive experience and in the end it becomes what they believe it to be. Tough situations can become great learning experiences if we desire them to be—a situation is as good or as bad as we think it is.

Today I am going to make every experience I have a positive learning experience. While at work, I will try to increase my job knowledge, efficiency and leadership; at home I will try to increase my capability of being a good husband and father; and during my alone time, I will try to become a better person through education and keeping my attitude positive. Today will only be as good as I make it...and I will make it great.

What will you do to make your day the best it can be?
