It's a great day!!

Each day at school, we have a morning news show and our Assistant Principal speaks on it. She always ends by saying "make it a great day, or not, the choice is yours". Powerful words that sometimes I think are taken for granted!

When we wake in the morning, if you're like me, you're not always awake and truly ready to make a conscious thought of "oh, I'm going to make this a great day". My first thought tends to be 'give me my caffeine'!! And that's ok. But as you navigate your morning routine, I know you can find a moment of time where you make a conscious decision to make it a fabulous and awesome day. Yes, YOU have that ability to choose.

Choice. We truly do have the ability to choose all our actions in a day and yet, we sometimes allow our negative voice to kick in and take charge. When we sit back and listen, instead of participating in our day, we tend to coast through the day and in some ways are just 'surviving' it. However, when we choose to participate in our day and make it a great day, we become an active participant and are able to find the positive no matter what comes our way.

So today I DARE you to make this a great day. Stop right now and find a mirror. Tell that reflection that from this moment on, you are going to smile and LIVE your day in a positive way. You, yes YOU get to make that choice so do it!

Go on, choose happiness, choose to live, and choose to make it a great day. I guarantee you'll be glad you did!
