As I began my day trying to create it spiritually before I lived it, I decided to enter today with the desire to uplift those around me. I read my scriptures, prayed with Bonnie and set off to work a bit early.
As I arrived at work, I greeted the first person I saw with a big smile and a cherry "hello." Then as the other employees began to file into work, I tried to do the same with everyone. I smiled, greeted, joked around, complimented others, and even expressed my joy in the day.
Before long I was feeling what I was living. I acted happy, joyful, peaceful with others, and then the day turned out that way.
One guy came in and I said, "Good morning Clarke." He replied, "What do you mean good morning. How is it good?" I replied as he walked down the hall, "Clarke, make it a good morning, make it a good day, you can do it!"
Later when I saw him, he seemed to have a better look on his face and seemed to me to be happy and content. Whether my comments to him did anything or not, it made me happy, and made me decide to make today a happy day.
There were a few minutes, or hours where I felt tired, bored at what I was doing, but during those moments, I recommitted to make it a good day, rededicated my attitude to enjoying my day, and it turned out great. I decided that I was the master of my attitude, my outlook, and my feelings. No one else was going to dictate how I felt, how I acted around others, and how I met and worked with others.
I tried and was successful in making my day as I spiritually created it this morning, a good morning.
