Today I have a choice. I can live with stress, pain, and anxiety or I can live with calm, happiness, and positivity. I am in complete control of this moment in this day. No one can control how I feel except me!

If things are going wrong for the people in my life, I can be sympathetic, but I don’t have to take on their sadness or stress level. In fact, if I remain calm and empathetic, I may actually be able to reduce their levels of stress.

So take this Monday, only one of the Mondays in this month, and in this year, smile and be grateful to be here at this time, and in this place.

You are making choices every moment to be happy or miserable. Make the choice that is the best for your heart and mind.

May I be safe. May I be healthy. May I be happy. May I live with ease.
