I Choose!

I drove over a nail on the freeway yesterday… on my way to give an important presentation. Here is how I chose to feel about what happened to me:

• I felt lucky that my tire did not go flat on the freeway… (I made it to my destination in time for my special event).
• I felt fortunate that I discovered my flat during an unplanned quick trip to put something in my car.
• I felt thankful that everything took place during broad daylight… instead of in the darkness of night (when I was scheduled to use my car to get home).
• I felt happy to have a working spare tire.
• I felt relieved to have emergency roadside service (but chose not to use it).
• I felt capable to know how to fix a flat tire (and I quickly did so because that was my desired option).
• I felt Blessed that the flat happened to me instead of my son (who traveled in a separate car to the same event).
• I felt prepared that I had my camera with me to capture the event.

No situation or person can make me feel anything… I choose how to feel!
