"Wow, Sweetie, you are up early today."
" I already ate breakfast and brushed my teeth too Daddy!" She beamed.
"Wow - that is great! I am so proud of you! Why so early today?" I inquired.
" I just want my day to start now" she replied with a bright, dazzling smile.
It was quite the contrast - my daughter rip roaring to get on with her day and her Dad, sluggish, and slowly dragging himself to the shower to start his work week - safe to say with much less enthusiasm than my little girl.
Now, I understand a day spent at the office versus a day spent literally at the beach and pool with your friends, playing, swimming and laughing are two vastly different motivations!
However,my daughter inspired me to get my butt in gear, lose the blah Monday attitude and get charged up for the day!
It is a matter of CHOICE! A choice in our minds that we control!
Which will you choose this morning?
Allow the Monday Blues to control you and run your day, week, life?
Or take control of it and CHOOSE to be happy, strong, enthusiastic, focused, enjoying and appreciating ALL the blessings you have been given this wonderfu day??
Remember - there are many people who cannot enjoy today's sunshine and walk around healthy - smiling and seeking positives! And you can bet they would trade their "Monday" for ours in a heartbeat!
Get it in proper perspective - give thanks for all the Gifts you are experiencing this morning - and go out and INSPIRE someone to have a great Monday like my precious daughter did to me today!
It does not matter what your situation - it is BETTER than the majority of people on the planet and chances are OUR perception of our so called "problems" are quite inflated when you start delving deeper into people's daily challenges!
Inspire someone today - pick them up from the Monday gloom! It does not take much to do it!
You will not regret it for a moment!
And please remember that You are not ALONE - Stay Strong!
