Happy Friday, Friends!
I hope and trust this post finds you all having a great day as a glorious new day begins to dawn in my Sweet Home Alabama!
Each of us has a great gift and a choice to make; we have been given this brand-new day, and we will choose how to live it! My hope and prayer is that we will be intentional, positive, and encouraging.
Will we choose to live intentionally, or will we live by our feelings, which are so fickle? Are we on autopilot, or are we taking response-ability (think about it!) for the lives we are living? Let’s be intentional with the things that we allow to be poured into our Spirits, minds, and bodies; what’s in the well always comes up in the bucket. And then, let’s make the courageous choice to be intentional in how we interact with those we are blessed to have in our lives.
Each one of us will choose the attitude we will bring to this day; does it align with the life we want to live? While we cannot control many things that happen around us, we are free to choose what happens within us, which, in turn, will determine how we live this day. If we want to have a good day (who doesn’t?), it begins with a positive attitude, something each one of us can choose! I read a great quote by John C. Maxwell this morning: “So often, what people say their problem is really isn’t their problem. Their problem is the attitude that causes them to handle life’s obstacles poorly.”
Straight fact: you and I will influence every person we interact with today. Yes, Friend, you are that powerful! Will we choose to be encouraging? It does not have to be some grand gesture or some profound word of wisdom; to someone who is barely holding on, a smile from another human being can mean everything. What will your influence be?
So, what will you choose?
"To live intentionally is to live with purpose, not by chance." – Olivia Carter.
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.” – Viktor Frankl
“The truth is... everything counts. Everything. Everything we do and everything we say. Everything helps or hurts; everything adds to or takes away from someone else.” - Countee Cullen
