You make or break your own happiness.
You could be experiencing something absolutely dreadful, and depending on how you look at it and how you deal with it will determine the outcome of your day. I mean, your car breaking down might be an unpleasant ordeal... but the second you accept the fact that you can't do anything about it and make the most of the time you've got, the experience is more likely to suck a lot less. It takes a lot of practice and it certainly tries your patience... but once you've got it in the bag, i'll guarantee you it's worth it.
You're bored out of your mind- that's your fault. Do something about it.
You're having a bad day and you're mad as hell- that's your fault. Woozah it out.
Do you really wanna waste so much of your time being miserable? It's exhausting. Not to mention the damp mood you're infecting everybody with. Who's never appreciated a great dose of misery and good stress? People will definitely be lining up to hang out with you at the next party. Expect your phone to ring off the hook because you'll be the first one in mind to enjoy a relaxing getaway with.
Picking the slowest lane at the grocery store, dealing with irritating sales people, being stuck in traffic, being rejected by taxi drivers, missing your flight, discovering you've been booked for a terrible gig, spilling ketchup on your shirt, checking into a resort to find out they've given away your reservation, etc.
You get the point. That's life. Shit happens. It doesn't mean it's gotta suck though.
Shit makes great fertilizer. You just gotta learn how to deal with it properly.
