Today was a terribly long day. It started at 8 am, and if I'm lucky, it'll end by 3 am. I woke up to discover I was locked out of my phone, and it felt like being locked out of my world. The acute awareness that my life is so intertwined to a mobile device only added to my exasperation.
I contacted my carrier and the phone's producer; neither company helped me resolve the issue. I spent the bulk of my day annoyed about my phone, annoyed with technology generally, hangry, sleepy, and in an overall pissy mood. All in all, I concede that this day was not a good one, and I did not put my best foot forward.
It's like that sometimes. As I lie in bed typing this post in my newly reset, unlocked phone, I feel comforted. If I am fortunate, I'll have another shot. I'll close my eyes tonight, get some rest, and reset tomorrow. Thankfully, tomorrow's potential is not decided by today's success.
Tomorrow can be great.
"The longer I love, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church....a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes." -Charles R. Swindoll
