"What's going on with you?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

Life is tough sometimes, isn’t it? Some days are worse than others. And some days are better than others.

Have you ever had one of those days when something went wrong first-thing in the morning? You spilled coffee on your favorite dress. Or, an irate customer greeted you on the phone with something that wasn’t your fault? Or, the dog wet the floor just as you were leaving?

Did you find yourself saying, because this happened first thing in the morning, “Great! It’s gonna be one of those days.”?

Sure life is tough sometimes, but you can avoid letting one incident like this mess up your day…which can lead to a messed-up week, month, year, and life. Instead ask yourself, “Okay Self, in five years, will this matter?”

If you answer, “No,” then smile and go on.

If you answer, “Yes,” then stop what you’re doing, pray to God and ask for strength and courage and peace and love because life is really tough, and go on.

Then listen to your life and make a life, not just a living.
