In today’s world, many people’s ego’s are a bit too high - and many are too low. Whatever the case, many people always want to be right, even if what they are saying is wrong.

I know a few people that always want to be correct, and it drives me nuts. I am not quite sure why some people can’t say “Okay, you are right.”

I can.

I don’t like to argue, so I try and resolve things as quickly as possible, which brings me to what Mrs. Krulik has to say:

3. Sometimes being right can turn out wrong (or the demise of the words “I told you so!”)

Why is it so important that we be right all the time? It isn’t. But we sure do put a lot of energy into being correct - and making sure that someone else knows he or she is wrong. Many of life’s questions have no real right or wrong answers. And most of us would be a lot happier if we stopped focusing on proving ourselves right - and started focusing on making ourselves happy. Just think of all the fun things you could do with the time saved by not arguing!

Last night I watched the movie United 93 for the first time. It was not easy watching this movie, especially the extra features in which some of the family’s members talked about the ordeal in which took place in one of the darkest days in American history.

I came to a realization that it was September 11th that caused me to have more fear and skepticism in me. I was only 13 at the time when it happened, and had just moved to Florida five days before. Life throws the most unexpected twists on many of our lives, and I hope that all of us who can be in control of the situations we encounter will make it through the day and go to sleep waking up for a brand new day.

Which brings me to what Nancy E. Krulik wrote:

2. The sun will come up tomorrow… unless, of course, it’s cloudy.

Okay. So it’s bedtime, and you realize that this has been, without a doubt, the absolute worst day of your life. Oh, well. Some days are like that. The key is to leave today in the past and remember that tomorrow is a brand new day. Think of that new day as a clean sheet of paper. Only you can decide what is written on that empty page. It’s up to you to scribble down words that are dismal and dull or bright and happy.

Do yourself a favor. Leave the clouds to Mother Nature. Fill all of your tomorrows with as much sunshine as you can.
