Sunny Days Are Here To Stay- If You Want Them

Yes, this is correct. Sunny Days are here to stay, that is, if you want them to be. What's that mean? Well, let me explain it this way.
How do you feel when it's a "sunny day" outside? When you first awake and the sun is shining in your window doesn't that perk you up a bit?
Now I realize there are days when you are not feeling well, Maybe there's been a serious problem you are facing or there are any number of things that may not be pleasant in your life.

But overall with all those things happening to you doesn't a "sunny day" help you to feel at least somewhat better about life? Don't you feel much better then when it's a cloudy and rainy day outside?
I started using this phrase "have a sunny day" many years ago in my greeting to people. It's even at the end of my voice mail message. I'll never forget the day when I was a salesmen and received a call on my voice mail from one of my customers to call him.
When I finally called him back the first thing he said to me was, "Sonny are you crazy it's not a "sunny day." It's pouring down rain outside here." I said , "I know it is but you missed my point, you can have a "sunny day anytime you want because a "sunny day" starts in the mind." "Oh, he said, I never thought of it that way"
Many times over the years that voice mail message has always got comments from people calling me. .
One of my favorite motivational speakers, Jim Rohn, says you have got to decide on what your philosophy is about your life. You've got to decide what excites you about life. You've got to take responsibility for what happens in your life.

You shouldn't just "fit in" to someone else's plan, design one of your own. He says you have to live a disciplined life and stay disciplined so you can get what you want.
He goes on to say, It's true, we suffer one of two things. Either the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. You've got to choose discipline versus regret because discipline weighs ounces and regret weighs tons.
I believe that makes things rather clear in my mind. How about you? Whatever you want in your life you must discipline yourself enough to get it no matter what it takes. Now of course that means without harm to another person.
Now to add to this, Robert Stuberg, of Success.com says "your thoughts control your life, your life is not controlled by random events, UNLESS you want them to be." "You are NOT a victim of others actions UNLESS you THINK you are" He goes on to say, "if you don't like something in your life, you have the Power to change it."

"If you desire something in your life, it's in your POWER to change it" Then he emphasizes, "Change Your Thoughts And You Will Change Your Life"
When you get right down to it, we all know life can be very challenging at times, life can deliver cruel punches, life can deal us some big problems sometimes. Usually our only defense is to build up a strong positive attitude to ward off these situations in our lives.

 Maybe we just need to get more "tough skinned" at times.
