I got curious, so one day I walked up to Charles and asked him: "How do you manage to be so positive all the time?" Charles answered: Every morning I wake up and say to myself: "Today you have two choices. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood. Every time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or to learn something from it. I choose the positive. Every time someone comes to me to complain I can choose to accept the complaint or I can choose to point out the positive parts of life. I choose the positive parts of life."
Well, it's not quite that simple, I protested.
"It is" Charles answered. Life is about choices. When you take
away everything around, every situation is a choice. You choose how to
react. You choose in what way others influence your mood. It is you who
choose if you want to be in a good or bad mood. It is your choice how
you live your life.
Think about your two choices:
1. Continue to be the way you are
2. Be more like Charles
It's Your choice!
