Greetings all!
I recently came across this quote and it really resonated with me.
“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.”~
We can choose what to think and how to act. We can choose to be happy and kind and giving and patient. Some choices are easy but others require an effort. Depending on the situation, small steps and a bit of preparation might make the choice a bit smoother.
For example, one of my least favorite things to do is to wait in line. I can choose to be impatient and annoyed or I can choose patience. I used to chat with people in line to pass the time but nowadays, social distancing and mask-wearing are making quiet conversations a bit more challenging.
So now, I just make sure I have something interesting on my phone that I can listen to. The other day, as I was mentally preparing for a long wait in a grocery store, I started a language lesson. Well, I was barely 5 minutes into the lesson, as I was invited into the store. Impatient no more – I actually wanted the wait to last a bit longer and that made me smile!!
What do you choose today? Drop me a line!
