Well, over the last couple of days I've been pretty down. I don't know why I was down, just that I was, and the effects weren't pleasant. The people around me weren't used to my gloomy attitude. Everyone kept asking, "What's wrong?", "Are you okay?", "Did someone hurt you today?"... and so forth. I was alarmed by these reactions and alerted to something I'd heard but never experienced.
Attitude matters.
How you act/react affects how those around you act/react. I've tried to amp up my attitude into the happy, off-the-walls personality I usually boast like a million bucks! Sadly, I don't think many people realize that what they do affects what others do.
If your mad and act on that anger, the people around you will get mad.
If you're practically balling in public, your friends automatically ask you what's up.
If you're acting gloomy others will begin to try to fix a problem that they think has you down. But if you're happy you'll brighten someone else's day.
If you're laughing, your friends will join in.
You decide what your day will be like. And, in some ways, you also decide what your friend's day will be like.
Here's the choice. The decision is yours.
Joy/sorrow. Hope/doubt. Relief/pain.
What do you choose?
