Remember: YOU choose to “set the tone” of your life. Think about this. When you’re having a party, you set the tone of a room. You choose the lighting, the music – the FEELING. You don’t wait for your guests to show up and set the tone FOR you, you choose it beforehand. You want festive? You bring on the balloons and the party hats. You want romantic? You turn the lights down low, and match the music. In life, all too often we allow others to set our emotional tone. We say, “She ruined my day.” Or – “Well, THAT was a downer.” And wait for the next “tone setter” to show up, shift our emotions and lift our spirit. The question is – do you want your results do be determined by the next tone setter? Or do you want to set the tone for your own life? When you let him, or her, or them choose your mood and your vibe – you give away your power. When you choose your own, you’re consciously creating your reality. In any given moment, you’ve got the choice to let someone else set the tone for you, or you have the choice to set a joyous tone, an uplifted tone – for yourself (and possibly set an example for someone else in the process)! How cool is that? What tone will you set today? (Even if it’s hard?)
