Yesterday I started my job. I was in the back the entire day doing reading and paperwork until the last 20 minutes when I got to go out on the floor. In that 20 minutes I saw so many weird people and situations. People are weird, myself included.
Anyway later that night I was telling a friend about how the first day went. I told him how excited I was because in just 20 minutes I had seen so many weird, happy, mean, cool, crazy people, and if I could see that in just 20 minutes imagine what I could see during an entire day! (I'm really being sincere) Anyway, he responded by telling me he really liked and appreciated my attitude and perspective about it. And it wasn't until then that I realized I could have thought "what a crappy day in just 20 minutes I had to deal with a bunch of crazy customers." But I didn't!
So why post this? Because our attitude and perspective about things is so important! It really can change everything about our day and our lives.
Life is good, my mind is made up about it.
