What will you do first thing after you wake up in the morning? Are you quickly get up and looking for your Smart phone, checking your mail or busy to check your friends updates status or even to think about your own status??? Or you get up and directly straighten your arm and look at watch, whether if it is possible you will back go to sleep again? Or maybe you choose to go back continuing dream that isn't complete yet! Well, whatever it is, the first thing that you need to pay more attention is THINK POSITIVE. No matter how many problems you have or havent finished yet in your life. BE POSITIVE AND SMILE. I remember a story of Jerry, a manager of a restaurant who has very inspiring story to share.
You are always have two choices
Jerry is the manager of a restaurant. He is always in a good mood. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would always reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" Many of the waiters at his restaurant quit their jobs when he changed jobs, so they could follow him around from restaurant to restaurant Why? Because Jerry was a natural motivator If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was always there, telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him! "I don't get it! No one can be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, I have two choices today. I can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood. I always choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be victim or I can choose to learn from it. I always choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I always choose the positive side of life. "But it's not always that easy," I protested. "Yes it is," Jerry said.
Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. It's your choice how you live your life. Several years later, I heard that Jerry accidentally did something you are never supposed to do in the restaurant business. He left the back door of his restaurant open And then ??? In the morning, he was robbed by three armed men. They want ? #123*+!@$%&*~ While Jerry trying to open the safe box, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found quickly and rushed to the hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.... I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Want to see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, after they shot me, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or could choose to die. I chose to live." "Weren't you scared" I asked? Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the Emergency Room and I saw the expression on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'He's a dead man.'I knew I needed to take action. "What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything." 'Yes,' I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Bullets! 'Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Please operate on me as if I am alive, not dead'. Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that
Every day you have the choice to either enjoy your life or to hate it. The only thing that is truly yours --that no one can control or take from you...is your attitude, so if you can take care of that, everything else in life becomes much easier. --------------------------------ooOooOooOo--------------------------------
Last night, i was not in a good condition, my feeling was a bit mess up, i talked to my mom and my best friend. We talked till late up. I was too tired and cant concentrate anymore to do any things. Then I choose to sleep. I remember to do quiet time whenever i feel i need it. So i did last night. 11.45 PM, still up, feel insecure, worry, confuse, afraid, alone at my room. I turn off the lamp, my mobile phone, laptop, and just me and the silence left. i relaxed at the darkness, thinking deeply about my life and trying to get sleep. This morning, i wake up early and ask to my self, as i remember Jerry story. I choose to have a good mood, think positive for my problems, grateful for what i have now, instead what i dont have, be happy and smile, look myself on th mirror, and says, "I m beautiful and strong".
