To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy…is to set our own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them.

One day Daddy was standing, leaning against his trailer to rest and Noah came up and asked,

“Daddy, what are you doing?”

“I’m resting.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m tired. Are you ever tired?”
Noah shook his head no 🙂

Another day Isaiah asked Daddy what he was doing and he said, “I’m resting.”

Isaiah: “And then what are you going to do after that?”
