Daily Mood Quote
Day 29 – June 2, 2011
“Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day.”
~Author Unknown
“The only disability in life is a bad attitude”
~Scott Hamilton
Today is a two quote day. Both quotes are directly related to the mood I am having today. It's not really a mood, it's just...BLAH. Yes, just BLAH, there is nothing good and nothing bad, it's just there. Colors seem a little less bright. The blue sky, singing birds, the sunshine, and the good music are all there, but I have a “I am just not interested” feeling today. I do care, but I just “feel” like I don't. So, today will be one of those days where I have two options; lock myself in a room with a good book and have no contact with anybody, or force myself to interact and find the good, the funny, the best in the day.
We are all responsible for our actions and accountable to ourselves for how we treat ourselves and others. Just because we have “off mood” days, doesn't mean we have the right to project that mood onto the world, or cause someone else to have an “off day” too.
It's our attitudes that make the difference and they have to be cultivated. On days when we wake up with a BLAH, or a negative mood, the trick is to not beat yourself up about it. We are all human. Those are the days, we need to dig a little deeper and work a little harder to find the good. It certainly takes a little more work to find the good than it does to find the bad, but the effort yields much better fruit.
There are those who are eternally optimistic, like Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump, but that is the exception, not the rule. We are human, not robots or cyborgs. Our emotions, including our moody and bluesy days, are valuable parts of the tapestry of our life. Its how we deal with those days, that helps to ensure a healthy crop of experience to draw upon, when truly challenging days come our way.
Like Tom Hanks said as Forrest Gump (not Forrest Grump), “My mamma (Sally Fields as Mamma Gump) always said. Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.” We really don't know what tomorrow holds, but one thing is for sure: A BLAH mood of today, doesn't take away the great possibilities of tomorrow.
What does your “box of chocolates” hold for you today.
