Dave, you made my day, too! At times I do awaken cranky. And, it can be more than not getting my “cuppa Java” quickly enough. So by keeping this in mind it makes a difference.

To extend that here’s two more ideas…

1. Smile as you greet people. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the warmth that comes back to you.

2. Encourage a couple of others in a genuine way during your day. This is the clincher to take the day to a whole new level! You’ll be surprised at how it affects you as well as others.

Like I said, your kind words truly make my day, Dave.

I was busy searching my inner self these couple of months. I found that my inner self, that creates my outer world, is so much bigger and deeper than my conscious mind and reality. What I feel deep inside and what I think I got to do is indeed polar apart. These clashes of interest resulted a very frustrated, moody and confused me for days. However, when I’m in my moments of clarity, I said my thanks, prayers and gratitude to God and the Universe for the opportunities and abundance. Yes, I’m thankful that I’m on the path continuous learning. I will be dying if I’m not growing. Discomfort is just a sign of growing and evolution.

Your post made me a little reflective, Dave.
