Each day a new beginning
Quote:
Each day a new beginning
You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face,
And show the world all the love in your heart.
Then people gonna treat you better.
You're gonna find, yes, you will,
That you're beautiful as you feel. ~ Carole King
~~ Act "as if." There's magic in behaving the way we want to be, even though we don't yet feel it. The behavior seems to lead the way. The attitude, the mental state, follows.
Many days we may not get up with love in our hearts for our family, our friends, our co-workers. We may , in fact, want them to show their love for us first. But if we reach out, give love unconditionally, focus on another's needs, love will return tenfold. And the act of loving them will lift our own spirits. We will know love; we will feel love for ourselves and the many other persons close to us.
The attitude we cultivate, whether one of love or selfishness, inferiority or superiority, will determine how the events of our lives affect us. The principle is so simple. If we meet life with love, with a smile, we'll find love and something to smile about.
........My attitude will make this day what it becomes. Meeting it head-on, with love, will assure me of a lovely day.

This spoke volumes to me today. It is always about my attitude and my acceptance of what is in the moment, and for me, it is about knowing that all things are subject to change. The change can not come about my expectations and although thought is a powerful thing, it always needs to be followed by action.
