Breathe! It's All Right!

I had a lunch meeting last week with a top executive of a company I am involved with. While we were eating, the executive said something that I thought was inappropriate and it started to change the mood of our conversation. I had the choice then to do one of two things: stop the meeting and leave, or continue and bring the mood back to a more positive one. I chose the latter and dismissed what had been said, took a trip to the bathroom, performed a one minute deep breathing exercise, visualized what I wanted from the conversation and went back with this new energy I had created.

The result was amazing; I got exactly what I wanted.

We all go through periods of ups and downs and we all have the choice to climb the ladder back where we want to be. The absolute truth is that we can be, have or do whatever we choose to. Who do you choose to be today? What do you choose to have today? What do you choose to do today?

Think it! Feel it! Be it! No one or nothing can have control over your thoughts.
