Do you decide how you are going to feel today? If its up to you decide, what would be your pick?
I am sure that most of us would say, if given a choice I am going to feel great.
Amazingly we all have that choice available. We just have to make a decision
Today when I was driving to work, I told myself that I am going to feel tremendous, and I am feeling awesome right now.
Now off course, feeling awesome does not mean that I am going to be insensitive and wont care about other’s feeling. If someone is not happy with me or I made someone uncomfortable, I would be concern about that.
I will do whatever it takes to make things good between me and that person.
I don’t consciously decide my mood for the day, as in lay in bed and think about it and then set the tone for the rest of the day. I don’t think I even have the same mood for the entire day, thats because what happens during the course of the day usually affects me. Sometimes though the morning mood prevails, if it starts off good for whatever reason i don’t let things get to me or if it starts off bad then there isn;t much anyone can do to lift my spirits. Today has been one such day, its started off grrreat and still going that way, except for an idiot at work who bothered me but I was feeling too good to let him make me angry
I don't consciously decide my mood ... what happens during the course of the day usually affects me.
But that is exactly what my point is ... when we take a conscious decision about our mood, we dont let circumstances rule us .. rather we rule the circumstances .. cause the decision has been taken already to feel great.
but thats not real then thats ignoring reality. If I got really mad at a co-worker for example I would have to address it, I couldn;t just ignore it. I may not allow it to upset me for the rest of the day but at that time I don’t think I would be able to just act like nothing happened and carry on all chirpy and happy.
Maybe I did not explain my point properly.. I am not saying that feeling great means ignoring realities .. or being chripy all around. It also does not mean sitting at your desk and humming a romantic song all day long
Felling great to me means that you decided to go through your day with great attitude and would deal every situation from poition of strength and not going to let small things bother you, like someone else’s crapy attitude.
When I get bothered by someone elses bad attitude, I am letting their attitude rule me.
Even when you deal with situations like confronting someone, you can do it with a right attitide
Jub aap falsafiana guftago ko nibha nahi saktay tow sheroo kion kartay hain ? Just kidding.
How you feel is depends on your surroundings. If most of the people around you are feeling great and the whole scenario is pleasant yes you will feel great.
If you ask a girl in a flower shop selling flowers all day she will tell you she feels so good. But ask the same question to a mortician in a mortuary the answer will be different. No ?
^^ its a choice whether you control your attitude or you let surroundings control it
How can a mortician control the stanch of dead bodies all around him or a flower girl change all the good smell of the flowers all around her into odor ?
Then the customers coming in, the flower girl gets most of the customer who are happy and want to cheer someone else she has to smile to them. But mortician gets all the people who have a very somber mood because they lost some loved one he has to control his smile, he cannot even show a trace of smile on his face. Can he ?
and still going that way, except for an idiot at work who bothered me but I was feeling too good to let him make me angry
