We all have those days that just don't get started off right. Maybe you wake up and remember you have a test that morning that you forgot about. Perhaps you are just so tired that you never want to leave the warmth of your covers again! Today, I had one of these moments.
I had a flight to catch leaving at 8:35 a.m. to Fresno for the California state convention. No big deal, I could leave my hotel by 6:30 a.m., make it to the airport by 7 a.m., return my rental car and make it to security just in time to catch my flight. No problem....until I woke up this morning and looked at my phone which read 7:05a.m.. WHAT! At this moment, I just about cried. As quickly as I could, I through my belongings in my suitcase, and ran out without even putting make-up on (yes, national officers don't always wear make-up).
I managed to get to the airport at 7:35 a.m., returned my rental car, and made it to security. The entire time I am praying that I don't miss my flight! Lucky me, there was NO LINE at security, which virtually never happens. I made it through and to my gate with ten minutes to spare before they started boarding my flight. I was so happy to make it in time, yet I was tired and not looking so "pretty." I thought "this is going to be a rough day."
They called for my flight, and as I handed the lady my ticket she said.... "Oh hun, you're in first class!" What??? I am sure I looked like a confused tired little puppy with a glimpse of hope at this point. Some how, I had finally gained enough air miles to be bumped up to first class on American...THANK YOU!! What I assumed was going to be a rough day, turned out to be a new and exciting experience!
You may be asking "why is Becky telling me this?" I'm telling you this because it is a perfect example of choice. Yes, choice. Today solidified the message so many people promote that YOU choose what your day will be like. At first today, I subconsciously choose that my day wouldn't be the best. However, when you are least expecting it, there is always a positive. It turned out to be a GREAT day! I made it to the airport in time to catch my flight! That is definitely something I could celebrate! There was no line at security, crazy! Then, I got bumped up to first class for the first time in my life! I could have chosen to let my late start in the morning ruin my outlook on the rest of the day.
Always look for the positives. In every situation, everyday, there is always a positive somewhere. Seek these positives out and let them fuel your choice to make each day a good one. Remember, there is no such thing as an unimportant day...each day is one of equal significance as the one before.
Let's decide to look for those positives in every situation. By doing this, life will be a lot more enjoyable and rewarding.
