Daily Motivation

TODAY'S QUOTE: "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing—that's why we recommend it daily."... Zig Ziglar

I know how it feels to need a bath... I also know how it feels to need some encouragement. I don't depend on others for bathing and I refuse to rely on other people for motivation. If I receive some from any other source I'm grateful, but if not I know how to self-produce my own. I had to learn the hard way that trusting my mood to others is asking for trouble.

Who better than me to feel a need and fill it... no long lines... no waiting for help to arrive... no muss, no fuss. I decided long ago to wake up in a good mood every day. Seems that seeing a new day as another chance makes them mighty precious in their own right. If some bothersome shit occurs then don't bother looking for me in the "poor me" line. I'm too busy flipping that shit over, searching for the silver lining. And if I can't find one then I get my crayons and make one.

Whatever gets you moving in a positive direction is a wonderful tool. If you have one use it... if you don't own one start building one asap. It can be something small that has a huge impact upon a brighter outlook. I used to carry a worry stone in my pocket to work... I rubbed it when someone was trying to steal my smile. I used to post quotes on the bathroom mirror. I used to do whatever I could to make my three feet a happy space, no matter what surrounded me. Adding to the chaos only pleases the despot.

Why let an evil dictator have control of you? A negative start will guarantee a bad day; string enough of them together and you end up with a hole that's deep enough to swallow, digest, and spit you out. Truly it becomes a hard to break habit long before you realize it. But like any habit once you decide to drop it like its hot it's undoable. If you're bright enough to learn something new then you're plenty smart enough to unlearn something old that never served you well in the first place. Think about it... let it ride... then YOU decide !!!
