It’s the first question I ask every morning.

While the optimistic, motivational speakers tell us to think positive and watch the day manifest itself accordingly–that’s not how it works.

Some days are tough and others are flat-out garbage. No self-affirmations will fix it.

The kind of day it’s going to be should be dictated by the following questions:

What am I going to pay attention to today?
How am I going to react to what happens?

That should determine what kind of day I’m going to have.
