Chade-Meng Tan in "Joy on Demand" says that if I am careful and alert, I can choose my mood.
Which should I choose?
Marvelous! | Yucky, boring! |
Clouds! Smooth gray, give rain, make inside a comfortable place to be | Clouds! Dull, unexciting, depressing |
Blueberries, walnuts, oatmeal, coffee! | Same damned things again |
Kids are growing up! They shine, they radiate! | Kids are not on the right track. Are they? No discipline, no respect. Not like when - Oh, I better not get into that |
I'm going to be happy as a lark! | I hate larks! And happiness! |
