Power of Choice

A quick thought today:

I was reading the book "7 habits of highly effective people" today and I got to the point where he was talking about a NAZI man with the last name Frankl... His story was compelling and showed how if your frame of mind is right and you choose to not let the outside world effect your inner being then you can truly be happy in any situation.

The reason I bring this up is because if you go on facebook or twitter or any number of social media you are highly likely to see a "man if life were only fair" kind of mentality. While it is true I was once right on board with this, it is a mindset that most people in this country definitely hang their hats on. It is my feeling however that it is a CHOICE. You choose to be in whatever mood you are in. You choose to believe that someone can help or not. You choose to be in a bad mood. You choose to let the actions of others effect you.

What if for one day, scratch that, lets try one hour, you can focus all your energy on all the times you let the outside world effect you. Then counter act that with "This is because of me, not because of anyone else. I am in control of everything around me." I guarantee the world will start looking a lot different! You will start seeing the world from that of a proactive go-getter vs a victimized "woah as me". Which would you rather be?

In closing, am I guilty at times of this "victim" thinking. SOMETIMES, but that is changing, if you ask my wife every time something happens I am not blaming anyone else but myself. I am in control of my future and my destiny, and if you grasp what I am saying, and you truly commit to trying to change your thought process, you too can change your entire outlook and be a much more successful person. CHOOSE TO BE BETTER :)
