1/11/11

I wasn't about to let this date go by without a post.  It's kind of a fun date and just think, in November we'll have 11/11/11 and next year we'll have 12/12/12.  Woo hoo!  OK, I know I'm being a dork but I do think it's fun and you gotta take your fun where you find it, right?   :-)

I received this affirmation in my email today and thought it was a great one to pass along.  I think I'll make this one of my goal for 2011 - especially at work!  Don't you just love a good, positive affirmation?

“You can’t always control your circumstances.”
Your life can change at any time, from harmonious to difficult. The reality is that you have no control over circumstances that may turn your life upside down.

But there is something you can control. That something is your reaction to the situation. When you accept this and resist the urge to blame and act as the victim, you regain control.

Be mindful when life gets tough. Never give away what power you do possess, when confronted with a bad situation.

Be calm. Be strong. You can do it!

Today's Affirmation:  I am in control of my reactions.
