Smile! It Makes a Difference!

Chances are good that one incident caused the rest of the day to turn sour. Why? Because you let it. Instead of taking a deep breath, smiling, accepting that you would be running a late and notifying the people this might affect, you panicked. You rushed around and didn't do some things and did others poorly in an attempt to catch up. Instead of being grateful for the extra sleep, you destroyed the benefit of it by expending a day's worth of energy in a short period of time.

The next time something frustrates you, annoys you or otherwise ruins "the moment," take a deep breath. Smile. And move on with a "this won't ruin my day" attitude.

It's your choice. Choose to smile!
