you have choices in life:

Every day you have choices in life, the choices start when you get out of bed in the morning

you can look at your self in the mirror and ask you're self: Am I going to be in a good mood or in a bad mood today?

when something bad happens, what is your choice? Will you let it get you down or is your choice to learn from it?

when you meet people that are more successfully then you: Are you going to resent them or will you learn from them?

The things in your life you are not happy with: What is YOUR choice ? will you dwell on them or choose to change and improve them?

The choice is yours, YOU are the master of your life

I am so glad that I'm NOT the Master of my life. Because if I was, I would SO totally mess things up! Jesus is Master of my life, and I simply commit each day that I live by striving to do those things that make Him happy!

First of all, if I want to be in a good mood I don't look in the mirror.

Hey Edi,

Great post and I agree 1000% in what you say. Everyone is in control of their life and how they feel and how they chose to react to different events and unfortunately, many people do not believe this. Ohwell.

Edi - you are absolutely right on target. Life doesn't happen to us - we are in control of our choices.

I totally agree with your post. We are in control of our lives. (Except when it comes to those cinnamon rolls with cream cheese ising). I don't resent associates who are more successful than I am, I try to get to know them more and possibly learn something new from them.

Often the agents that are earning more than I am are working a whole lot more than me. If you make a choice to spend a good bit of time enjoying your life with family, friends, and sometimes all by yourself you are not going to earn as much as if you are working 24/7

But then again if you worked on only the issues that made you money and hired someone for the incidentials, you would have more time to have with family and friends and make more than your contemporaries.

We all slip up every now and then, sometimes more then others. I think the important thing is to keep trying. Every day is a new day and a new opportunity.
