Choose Wisely

Prompt “Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

We don’t get to choose when disaster or illness strikes, or even those crappy bad days when nothing seems to go right, but we can choose how we deal with those things.

Days when my body aches and no one seems to care or understand I feel like complaining to the universe, but that just makes the people who have to be around me feel uncomfortable and useless. There’s just no point.

My husband is what I call a reasonable man, most of the time, but when he’s driving he gets irate at the stupidity of other drivers and being in a car with him isn’t something I enjoy.

I choose to drive defensively, keep a safe distance and try to keep out of the way of danger.

None of us are perfect and we all lose our tempers or say hurtful things but we can choose to make amends and say say sorry. And if we’re on the receiving end of someone’s bad mood then the wise thing is to choose to ignore it.

It certainly would make for a better more peaceful environment if we all chose more wisely but some people actively choose to do bad things and get satisfaction in seeing the damage their actions cause.

So it’s a personal choice the way we live our individual lives. Life is too precious and short not to choose to live it well.
