Yesterday at Borders I read a bookmark that said
"You have got to get up every morning with determination if you are going to go to bed with satisfaction."
I hadn't heard that specific adage. Is it really that easy? Can your mood be decided or changed by choice?
I don't have a definite answer. However earlier today I snapped at someone for no particular reason other than I was in an unfavorable disposition. I truly hate when this happens and immediately regret it.
For the past month I have been participating in a daily activity that has caused me to think a lot about myself and my actions. It just so happened that today this activity occurred right after I snapped. It helped me center myself and decide to atone for my actions, and now I feel much better. So maybe the adage is true.
A similar quote I have always liked:
"Begin each day like it was on purpose." - Hitch
