What's the Weather Like for You Today?

Doesn't it sometimes seem like the challenges of the day are far more than they should be?  An even more important question is what choices we will make in responding to the challenges.  Along these lines, there is a beautiful concept explored by the late Dr. Stephen Covey in his book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.  Read this book.  You won't be sorry.  On a day like today, completely overcast with zero sun and raining heavily, it's easy for us to get down, moody, even depressed.  Covey suggests that we have the power within us to literally choose our weather, regardless of the real weather around us.  We can choose our attitude and mindset.  It's as if it is bright and sunny outside, despite what nature throws our way on a given day.

As crazy as it seems and as seemingly impossible as it might seem during the worst of times, I believe it is not only possible to do this on a gloomy, rainy day, it's possible to do this no matter what crazy challenges life throws at us.  Today, choosing my weather proved rather easy.  What's the weather like for you today?
