Daily Mood Quote
Day Three - May 7, 2011
Because everything we say and do is the length and shadow of our own souls, our influence is determined by the quality of our being.
~Dale E. Turner
It has been said, "actions speak louder than words" and "bad days happen." Remember, yesterday is gone, today is new and tomorrow there is room for improvement.
Yesterday, my husband had a bad day, he growled and snapped at everyone. Not that he wanted too, or that being grouchy is his normal behavior, because it's not. He was not putting out good vibes and therefore did not receive good attitudes in return. Besides today's quote, there is a great saying, “what goes around, comes around” or “what you give is what you get.”
This morning he woke up in a good mood, after a late night conversation that started with “What in the hell is wrong with you dude?” It's one of my husband's favorite sayings for pointing out poor behavior and it came right back at him last night. Today is a new day and the road to improvement begins with admitting that you have something that needs to be improved. Our souls are constant works in progress, so the actions we make everyday need to work toward a better tomorrow. “You are who you choose to be” (thank you Iron Giant) and that choice is made everyday.
What will you choose today?
Tune in tomorrow for the Daily Mood Quote.
