WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORDS - DAY 83

Someone said, "You cannot control what happens to you in life, but you can control your attitude and how you deal with it."  This is one of the truest statements I have ever read, and I try to remember it as things which I do not like happen to me.

Each morning when you awake you have a choice about the way you are going to face the day.  You can be sullen, depressed, angry and complaining, OR you can be smiling, upbeat, calm and happy with the things that are right in your life.

CHOOSE JOY!

DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN GIVE EVERY PERSON A GIFT? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORDS - DAY 46

Typically when we think of giving someone a gift we think of shopping, wrapping, and delivering a gift which either we have made or we have purchased.  If we had to give every person a gift we would not be able to afford it unless we won the lottery or the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes.

You have something that is free which you can give to every person you know and even to everyone you do not know.  It is as simple as smiling.  When you smile at others you brighten their day, you perhaps make them feel joyful, you may make them feel not so alone in the world as many people do, and you will find you make yourself feel more cheerful when you exercise those facial muscles.  You can even smile at people when you answer the phone if you smile while saying hello.  It will affect how you sound, and that can make the caller feel joyful.
