When you leave home each day, do you KNOW what will occur as the day progresses? If you are like most of us, you remain attuned to the workings of your day … then, respond — hopefully, in a beneficial way — to each event that occurs!

It's YOUR Life -- YOU Write the Script!The truth is that you do NOT know what will occur around you … at any given moment of the day or night.  What you CAN know — and the script that you are able, and responsible, to write is how you elect to respond to the events that occur.

For example, when you leave your home, you do not know whether the first traffic signal you will reach will be red or green.  Even something that basic is an unknown!

So, why aren’t you FILLED with apprehension and uncertainty as you begin the day?  You aren’t apprehensive because you have an approach- strategy.  You know how you will respond when you get to that first traffic light.  Namely, if the traffic light is red in your direction, you will stop and wait until it turns green.  If the traffic light is green in your direction, you will proceed cautiously through the intersection.

Armed with your strategy, you can easily handle any possible traffic-light eventuality that arises.  There is no dilemma, just a clear Plan of Action!

So, too, with other, not-so-concrete occurrences.

It is up to you to determine how you choose to think about the events that occur.  And, by how you think about an event, you directly affect how you feel regarding that event … and, ultimately, how you act in response to that event.  These are the choices that you are given each and every day.  The compilation of all of the choices that you make comprises your script for that particular day.

As with any other choices in your life, your day’s choices have outcomes or consequences.  Do you want to create Health & Wellness?  Are you looking for Happiness and Joy?  Would you like to enjoy Peace and Calm?  Or, do you want to experience a day that is exciting, unique, invigorating, and FUN?

Depending on the outcomes that you want, you can create guiding beacons on your behavior.  For example, let’s say you decided on greater Health and Wellness for your day.  You can write a script that leads you to experience greater Health and Wellness.  To do so, you might choose to include that you meditate in the morning, breathe deeply and slowly throughout each task of your day, and get plenty of exercise and good, healthy food.

What outcomes do YOU choose?  Remember — It’s YOUR Life … YOU write the script!
