Something to think about....
I worked in a resteraunt part time during school, I had a manager named jeff, he was the type of guy you loved to hate because he was always in a good mood, and when ever your around him he would make you feel better.
I walked up to jeff and asked: how do you do it?, how can you always be in a good mood and soo confidant all the time?
he said: well when i wake up in the morning the first thing i do is make a choice, a choice to be in a good mood or a bad mood, i choose a good mood every day. life is all about choices.
one night the resturant got robbed by 2 armed gunman, they put a gun to jeffs chest and said: whats the combo to the safe, and get all the money.
jeff was scared stupid, and at that moment he made a choice, to live or to die, he made a choice to live, he opened the safe and gave them all the money.
right before they left they shot jeff point blank, and said: nobody knows anything...
jeff was rushed to the er, a nurse kept frantically asking him questions: are you allergic to anything, and jeff yelled 'yes'.....'bullets', now operate on me like a live man not a dead man, at that moment jeff made a desicion, to live or die, he chose to live.I use to suffer from panic attacks, and depression, but now I am going farther in life than i ever have before. every morning when i wake up i choose to live and not be afraid, and i choose to be in a good mood.
yes anxiety and depression are hard to handle at times but they WILL NOT beat you, unless you choose to let them,
make a choice!!
