When you make a call, are in front of the cashier in a store, or for whatever reason, someone asks, "How are you doing today?" What do you say? Do you go into how bad your life is? Do you complain about your spouse or kids? Maybe complain about how bad you hate your job? Do you complain about the weather, the war? I honestly do not think that any of those were the answer they were looking for. I have asked this same question, "How are you doing today?" and have gotten all of these aforementioned responses. It is like loading a gun and pointing it to my face!
What cracks me up are the responses I get when people ask me this question and I give them my answer of "I AM FANTASTIC!" The person on the other end almost 100% of the time will SMILE or even Laugh out loud. Even if I am having the worst day of my life, and everything is going wrong, I do my best to give the same answer......"I AM FANTASTIC!" Not sarcastically, but sincerely! I may not even be talking to them, but instead I may be talking to myself! I challenge everyone of you to try this! Especially when the day is NOT going good. Try to turn things around by forcing yourself to smile for 1 minute! When someone asks you this question, you will be amazed to find out the answer you give, will have a direct impact on you and your day! Whether or not you like it, you choose how your days go. The day itself does not make this choice, you do!
