Choices and Attitudes

Personally, I am someone who loves to be able to make my own choices. If someone is going to make a choice for me, I want to at least have some sort of say in it. Sometimes, however, I notice that the choices that I make are not the best ones. Although things work out in the end, I still recognize that the other option would have been a lot wiser. But what about the small choices that we make on a day to day basis? We make choices almost every minute. We choose to get out of bed in the morning. We choose what clothes we want to wear. We also choose what our attitude is going to be for the day. When I wake up sometimes, I already feel as if I am in a horrible mood (mostly because it is so early in the morning). But each second I have a choice in the way I respond to the people and the situations around me. I can choose to make an effort to be nice to the person that I am working with, or I can choose to try and hurry the conversation so that I can get along with my day. Everything is a choice, even our attitudes. Today, I will choose to examine the attitudes that I have towards different situations and the people that I am around.
