Choosing to be happy on the inside

Having just returned from a holiday in the Med. to mixed weather in the UK, I attended an open air concert last night - in the rain. Despite the weather on the outside, all was sunny on the inside as the company of good friends and the great music more than compensated.

It did get me thinking, as I looked around the crowd, that many of the audience had chosen to be miserable because of something external they couldn't control, ie the weather, rather than choosing to react in a helpful way and have a great time.

We can all make a difference to ourselves or others. We can choose to say, "It's only £65 - I can't do much with that." Or we choose to think, "What difference can I make with £65 to help someone else?
