Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed today?

Want to know what will help you build a better life and be more successful? It starts with understanding that the way we feel inside is what shows up on the outside. Many things in our environment are out of our control. The weather. The economic situation. The traffic we might experience today. What is in our control is the meaning we choose to assign to these things. Will you be in a bad mood because it’s a rainy day? If someone cuts you off in traffic, will you let it get to you?

Children can move easily from one emotional state to another. A small child may bump his head on the corner of a table and cry in pain, but if you pick him up, hug him, and then point out something of interest outside the window, he will soon smile and move on to other things. He doesn’t dwell on that bump any longer.

However, as adults we sometimes get locked into a negative emotion, and find it hard to get un-locked from it. Maybe you didn’t bump your head, but you got stuck in traffic and missed an important appointment, and you start asking yourself dis-empowering questions: “Will anything go right today? Oh, why do things like this always happen to ME?” Thought patterns like this add to and prolong the “bad mood.” Although we do not really think the world is out to get us, there are times we find ourselves lingering in a negative emotional limbo.

As adults, we are in control of how we respond to our environment. Every one of us can make a conscious choice to change our emotional state from a “bad mood” into one that serves us, and one that is fun and pleasant for others to be around. We can stop ourselves from being controlled by whatever happens in our environment that day. We can even choose our own “positive distraction” so we can consciously change our emotional state from being in a bad mood or negative spiral, back into being happy, productive, upbeat and enjoying great energy.

You may wonder, why is this important? Three reasons:
1. This is a business of attraction. If you are in a state of confusion, weakness and frustration, how attractive is that to be around?
2. If you remain in a negative loop, what kind of people will you attract? That’s right, birds of a feather will flock together, and suddenly other negative people are coming into your life. People who have given up control. People who enjoy complaining. Unhappy people. People who have chosen to let their lives be dictated by circumstances. (For a happier life and a better business, you want to surround yourself with people who are generally confident, optimistic and want to succeed—regardless of their environment.)
3. The third and final reason is, you are not just creating a day. You are creating a LIFE. How do you want the rest of your life to be? How do you want the rest of your life to FEEL? Happy? Exciting? Do you want to feel motivated, inspired? At ease and at peace? Filled with gratitude?

You get to decide. You get to set the tone. All of us are destined for greatness, starting with today. YOU choose what kind of day today will be. YOU choose to empower yourself, to be in control of your life. No matter what today brings, you are in control of how you respond to it, you get to choose happiness, you can start creating the life you want TODAY.
