Whatever I do in reaction is my choice

I had an appointment with my trainer today.  I got there right on time, ready to go.  He tells me he thought our appointment was at 2:30.  I thought it was at 3:30. Instead of having him fit me in.  I told him I would wait to meet next week.  I left there feeling lots of things. Mad at me, because I got it wrong.  I was than got mad at him.  Thinking why didn't he send me a appointment reminder.  I was thinking why am wasting all this time and effort.  I have not been seeing much in the way of result lately.  I was ready to just say forget it.  I was ready to hit the McDonald's drive thru

On my way home, something I learned Sunday at church popped into my mind.  ( In case you read this Pastor Jim.  I do pay attention. I really am taking notes on my phone.) "Whatever I do in reaction is my choice.  I could choice to just be mad, sad, frustrated, angry or whatever else I was feeling.  Give up and just be done with it all. Go eat my Big Mac or 3. The other option is I could choice to push through it and use it get past whatever my problem is. Because to be perfectly honest it is my problem.  Not my trainer or anyone else problem. 

So I choose to react positively.  I choose to press on.  I choose to take responsibility when I make bad  choices. I choose to succeed.
