Okay, so I think I've lived on this planet long enough to know that attitude is a muscle. I've lived on this planet long enough to be taught through life, through experiences and through the people that I've met along the way that attitude is a muscle. This is something that I'm going to continue to learn. It's not necessarily like knowing in the usual sense of knowing, and that is like, you know, you go from not knowing to knowing, that black and white switch, if that makes sense. I'm not necessarily talking about knowing in that sense, like where you go from the state of not knowing something to the state of now you know something.
Because when it comes to learning about things, especially when it comes to life in practice. I think what is actually more accurate is not necessarily that you go from the state of not knowing to knowing, you just basically become more and more aware of the things that you know. So where I first became aware of the whole notion that attitude is a muscle. But as time has gone on, as I've applied that kind of like notion in practice, I've become more and more aware, almost like a light bulb becoming brighter and brighter and brighter.
I've become more aware that, you know, it's not necessarily about the things that happen to you but it is really about how you react to them. And today, I've had a day so crazy. Like you know, I've had a day so crazy. A day that was totally supposed to leave me down in the slumps and yet somehow the day ended with jokes, with laughter, with appreciation and gratitude for life. That you know, I'm almost shocked and I'm surprised at myself. And I want to really really think back and wonder like you know, what is it that I've done differently?
The things that usually, usually get me proper, proper down. For example, my car breaking down, which happened immediately after I finished work. I had such a bad day at work, a day that I don't even want to talk about. I thought it was over for me, in a sense, I thought that my bad day was over. After I clocked out from work, I put all the negativity behind me and I walked towards my car thinking that everything was over, only for me to find that I left the lights on and my battery had run completely flat. Surprisingly, whilst in the moment this did make me feel extremely tense, extremely upset because I was thinking about how I was going to lose money despite the fact that I'm trying to make money.
Like literally within 20 seconds I found myself just feeling absolutely fine, feeling grateful, feeling happy. And within the hour I was just completely, you know, completely like, you know, it had become a thing of the past. And so I guess I just want to learn how to be able to master this ability to react with a positive attitude rather than just feeling, you know, just kind of like getting down about every little thing that just kind of like gets in the way of life and stuff like that. So, you know, yeah, with that being said, attitude is a muscle and today definitely kicked my ass and I'm almost, I'm actually quite grateful for it because now I know how kicked my ass and I'm almost, I'm actually quite grateful for it because now I know how to react to these situations.
