This morning I woke up excited
with all the things I have to do
before the clock struck.
I have responsibilities to fulfill today. Im important.
My job is to choose what kind of day I’m going to have.
Today I can complain because the day is rainy
Or I can thank God that the plants are being watered.
Today I can feel sad because I don’t have more money
or can I be happy that my finances push me
to plan my purchases intelligently.
Today I can complain about my health
or I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can regret everything
What my parents didn’t give me when I was growing up
or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns
or I can celebrate that the thorns have roses.
Today I can feel sorry for myself for not having many friends.
or I can get excited and embark on the adventure of discovering new relationships.
Today I can complain because I have to go to work
or I can shout with joy because I have a job.
Today I can complain because I have to go to school
or I can open my mind energetically
and fill it with new and rich knowledge.
Today I can murmur bitterly because I have to do housework
Or I can feel honored that I have a roof over my mind, body and soul.
Today the day appears before me waiting for me to shape it and here I am,
I am the sculptor. What happens today depends on me,
I must choose what kind of day I am going to have.
