Life’s too short to be miserable.  We must appreciate every minute.  – Terry Bradshaw

Each of us has areas in our life that we’d like to make positive changes.  For me, there are times that I let one person, or one event, get under my skin and ruin my mood.  An aggravating unsolicited email or a hostile social media post can make me miserable.  The cost of my unproductive, undisciplined behavior can be significant.  Life is too short . . . Appreciate every minute.

Through a “big picture” lens, many uncontrollable events require a response.  For me, the most unproductive response, especially to something I can’t control, is to become miserable.  It’s a mindset . . . it’s about embracing my own shortcomings and actively doing the work to improve.

What makes you miserable?  Life’s too short . . . make the required changes to better appreciate the moments and people in your life.
