Last week was an interesting week for me. There was one day in particular when everything went wrong it seemed. I had a conversation with a friend, who was having the same type of day. As she was about to complain about what was going wrong, she stopped and said, no, I will not focus on the negative, I will deal with what is happening, but also find the positive. I decided to take the same stance, and while everything didn’t get better, I recognized that I can’t control everything, but I can control how I deal with it. How do you deal with opposition?

Growing up did you ever get mad with your parents? Maybe they wouldn’t let you do what you wanted to do? I think about when I was young, I got mad with my mom because she wouldn’t let me spend the night at my friend’s house. I didn’t understand why she wouldn’t let me be great. LOL.
