Over the years, I’ve observed a lot of people who, when things don’t go as they had planned, they become angry, upset or have a “melt-down.”  During the process, they make themselves and those around them miserable.  Hey, delays and interruptions are a part of life and it’s always been that way–to expect otherwise is to be grossly naive.  I recently experienced a day that was filled with unexpected interruptions.  It’s started with my cell phone not holding a charge.  After nearly an hour’s wait at the phone store, they gave me a new phone.  When I got home, I found that my phone charger no longer worked, so I needed to go back to the phone store.  At this point I said to myself, “Ross, it’s probably going to be one of those days.”  So, I took a deep cleansing breath, put a smile on my face and said, “I’m going to enjoy this ride.”  This didn’t stop the many further interruptions I experienced that day such the two trips each to Best Buy and Radio Shack when I discovered that my computer didn’t work, but it did make the journey far more pleasant and bearable.  On top of that, I met some really wonderful people along the way.  So, then next time you begin to experience one of those “days from hell,” you have a choice: you can tighten up and make yourself miserable or you can lighten up and actually enjoy the experience.
