Change the channel....

 ... you control the remote!

Just a short note today about something I heard on the radio that makes so much sense.  I heard it on the way to church and my husband heard it on the way to the hardware store and we both told each other at the same time!  So it is noteworthy!

Joel O'Steen was on the radio.  He was talking about negative feelings and how much power they have.  We will always remember a negative comment made about us and even fret over it while we may or may not think too long over a positive comment.  I thought how right he is!  If I do something and lots of people thank me but one person has a complaint, I walk away from the task worrying about the complaint, no matter how small or trivial or unfounded that statement may have been.  

Joel said that we have a tendency to pull up a chair with a bowl of popcorn and start reliving all the negative moments of our life.  But then he reminded us that there is another channel, one that plays our positive moments.  We are in charge of the remote control so just change the channel!

Spend time reviewing your positive accomplishments in life and gain a better attitude!

Now to watch the cooking channel to see if that can help.....
