The reality is...I had an "off" day at work today. I haven't been getting enough sleep, today was my long day ( in case you haven't detected, I'm not very happy about long days), the sales director for our chain was at our facility today--that puts every one on edge, I didn't get lunch until 3:20--late lunches up set my digestion, the assistant sales mgr. and one of my coworkers were angry all day--I don't like it when people are angry, it up sets me, the list goes on but to sum it up, my attitude was bad and consequently my sales showed it.
This is not a "woe is me" list even if it does bear some resemblance to one. We all have days like this so I know you can identify with the day that I had. I just wanted to set the stage for what I am about to say. when I got home and settled, I read a quick chapter in the book I am currently reading. At the end of the chapter I realized that all of these things that we shall for the moment call negative, are not part of my reality, I chose to believe they were a part of my reality, I accepted them as my reality. The truth is, I allowed myself to become a victim.
What does all this have to do with where reality comes from? Near the end of the chapter that I read this evening the author recounts how it took years to realize that 90 per cent of her ill fortune was between her ears. That really resonated with me. Now I know where my reality comes from and I'll bet I know where yours comes from.
