The right choices are The Key to a Great Day. The key is choosing how you will act and react to what comes your way. This is a follow up to the post Bad Day or Bad Choices?. I talk there about making choices as the person you want to be rather than making choices like the person you don’t want to be.
This video talks about the key to a great day, our opportunity to choose how we act and react in any situation.
I got to thinking about having a bad day. Our choices are key but there are factors other than our own choices that can influence our day. I thought I had blown it the idea of making the decisions the person you want to be would make for a great day. Then I realized it really works, especially with a few follow up ideas.
There are three sources of influence in our lives. These are the basic things that can influence us and how our days and lives go.
- Events and situations that occur in the natural world. Things like the weather, and natural disasters (like Chile, and Haiti have dealt with).
- The choices and actions of others. Other people will make choices that influence us and we have no control over.
- Our own choices and action. We have a lot of choice as to how things go in our lives.
So of all three of those influences, our own choices I believe is still the most powerful. The first two can change the focus and environment of our lives, but only we can decide how we will react and act in our daily lives. Good, bad, and ugly things will come our way. We still have the choice to react how we want too.
In any situation, good or bad, we have the opportunity to react and choose to act like the person we want to be.
What type of person do you want to be? How will you react and act to be like that?
