We saw this lady and her children broke down at a truck stop this morning. She had an SUV that was several years old. She had the hood popped and was talking to a highway patrolman who was making sure she was ok. She told him that she had a tow truck in route. I couldnt help but notice her disposition. She was happy and upbeat. On our way out she band the kiddos were sitting on the sidewalk on front of her disable vehicle playing a game. They were all laughing and joking around. Hardships happen everyday. Diversity will certainly be faced by everyone. What matters is how we carry ourself through that diversity. That is where we have the opportunities to grow. I couldnt help but think about the lessons that this mom was teaching her kids. A positive attitude will conquer all. For so many people this inconvenience would have ruined the day. She didnt allow that to happen. One of our Ruffneck moms ran into just about every inconvenience you could imagine on her trip to Orlando and back. Never once did I hear her complain. She smiled through it all and gave her kids an amazing example to follow. Guess what? They had an awesome time! Kids model their parents behavior. If every little inconvenience sends your attitude into the toilet, you kids will respond the same way. Nobodys life is perfect. We all have these inconveniences, so we can either face them with positivity or we can face them with despair. I dont know about you, but I am always going to choose joy. :)
