We all have mornings when our alarm clocks go off and all we want to do is pull the covers over our heads and not get up. This can be the start to an unhappy day, mainly because you just didn’t want to embrace the day.
Happiness can have a different meaning to each person and different daily events can bring us happiness. However, there are often just as many things that happen in a day that can make us unhappy and take the focus off of being happy.
We have all heard people say that “happiness is a choice”, and it’s true. We can choose to let life’s roller coaster bring us down or we can move beyond the ups and downs and make the day what we want to make of it.
So, when you are having a challenging day with your charges, mom-boss or dad-boss, just remember that you have control over your attitude and actions. You can be happy if you choose to be.
