Breakfast Burritos, Split Tea, and Pouring Rain.

Today

is already that kind of day. You know, the kind where you leave your house early to go to the store to by your salad for lunch. The type of day where you decide your going to do a detox to cleanse your body that hurts and feels worn down. You warm up your tea, get in the car and call an advisor from your school to take care of some financial things that have been a problem for weeks now. You forget your only one person, you cant hold your tea, drive and talk on the phone at the same time. So of course, while doing that U turn your tea goes flying right into your lap. Although, you got lucky and the tea is just running down your seat and you have a jacket in the back to cover up your mess. You laugh about your clumsiness and keep trying to multi task while sitting on an already damp jacket. You stop at the store, get your salad and a smoothie for your breakfast and you go back to your car to sit on that damp jacket, and you smile. You smile the whole time because there isn't a reason not to. Accidents make your day eventful and the fact that your wearing black pants means no one at work will notice your tea accident. You feel clever, like you defeated your goal of not getting a stain on your clothes for at least one more day. Your at work now, and a co worker tries to hand you whats left of her Betto's breakfast burrito, which is made up of a fried tortila eggs, tons of cheese, ham, and of course potatoes. You tell her about your cleanse and about your no eating gluten rule and she hands you the burrito anyways. Now you have a temptation on your hands, you have tried one of these burritos before. You know what it tastes like but you also know how sick you feel after eating it. You secretly want to just shove the whole thing in your mouth but you decide against it. You ask everyone else who comes in if they want it and they turn it down. Your only other option is to chuck it in the trash. You do and you feel accomplished by doing so. It feels so good to watch it land at the bottom of the trash can! Once you look up, you see that outside its pouring rain and you realize the only jacket you have is in your car covered with spilt tea. You chuckle, take a sip of your smoothie and get back to business. Your life is full of things that question your ability to stay happy, from accidents, spills, temptations,weather,and other people. The beauty of life is that you get to choose how you react! You get to choose weather your financial issues, your tea accident, or someone handing you a Burrito will ruin your day or just be another challenge you have over come. You could've sat and been angry, you could've thought about all the ways your problems were going to ruin your day, you could've ate that darn Burrito. The beauty of it is, even if you did it is your choice. The world gives you situations and you choose what to do with them. You cannot be mad at the world for how you choose to handle what it gives you. Find a way to make the most horrible of situations enlighten you and you will become a better person. You as a spirit will feel happy, and who knows with certain steps your physical body could feel happy too. Understand that the universe only throws at you what you can handle and how you handle what it throws at you is in the palm of your hands. Stay positive and find a positive outlook through all the negative. Things aren't always as bad as they seem and if they are its for a reason. You have to stay enlightened, stay humble, stay happy. This life is yours and only yours and the beauty of that is simply amazing! Do not take it for granted by living your life full of anger. Smile, for today is beautiful and you are beautiful. You got this.
