And the hits just keep on coming…

I’ve got to stop reading James! On the way home from a long day today, I was the lucky winner of the tour de flat tire for the second straight week. Add that to my dead battery last week and I’m getting close to the triple crown. As I hear the lovely noise of my rim riding on the pavement and the impending pop of the tire, I was on the verge of yelling many creative words.  As I walked around the side of my car a thought hit me though and it was this…how many people wish they had a flat tire because it would mean they have a car?

It was a joyful tire changing experience (minus the fact that the jack fell over with the car on it b/c the idiot driver forgot to put the emergency break on!).

In October, Andy Andrews will be speaking for Backstage Leadership. His latest book is called the Noticer and its all about perspective. In summary, we have a huge say in what we do with the circumstances that happen everyday. We have a choice to make and how we respond is so important.

Do you let your circumstances dictate your joy, happiness and overall mood? I know for the longest time I did and still do a lot of times. I know that I’ve got to get better. Help me see the other side of the coin. And if you see a little red car on the side of the road next week, do me a favor and stop by to say hello.
