Creating My Own Weather
“Each of us makes his own weather, determines the color of the skies in the emotional universe which he inhabits.” – Fulton J. Sheen
I am guilty as charged when it comes to allowing someone to rain or even create a dark cloud during my happy and content day. It gets worse when people know they can ruin your day and they have the audacity to feel good about it. I am grateful for MKE exposing me to “The Greatest Salesman in the World” by Og Mandino.
Within The Scroll Marked IV, it starts off with “Today I will be the master of my emotions.” After reading a few lines Mandino mentions “Trees and plants depend on the weather to flourish but I make my own weather, yea I transport it with me.” I am learning to and encouraging myself to create my own happy weather if things begin to dampen my mood and create unhappiness.
With creating my own weather, I can keep myself focused on the things I need and want to accomplish. I can also emanate a happiness and joy dome around me which can encapsulate others.
This can cause them to create their own happiness and joy dome around themselves to spread to others. As I master this concept of using my actions to control my thoughts, I can begin to create a positive and fruitful habit which can change my life.
“Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts.” – Og Mandino
