This is a poem about a bad day starting but losing it's tracktion because your mind is strong. In this peice I go through a typical day like this where i.e. you go to bed with a lot of thoughts, worries, stress, and wake up having to make sure you start your day right.
In this you have be be fully aware of how things work, how your mind works, and how it can only take 17 seconds to make or break a mood or to stop or start a bad stream of conciouseness for that day.
The first 15 minutes of your day is a template for the rest of the day because your mind creates a filter at that point and everything else is run through it- it's MUCH harder to break a filter than to diverge it before it's fully assembled (thoughts forming bad streams like negativity).
In this you essentially recognize the first moment of conciouseness, the moment when you engage your mind and if left ungoverned can start a chain of bad thoughts that could ruin your day before you even get out of bed.

I'm honored!
Wow back atcha, that was the most amazing comment I've ever recieved! Would you believe this poem fell into obscurity the moment it launched on Hubpages? I've updated it a bit here and thanks to wizzleys box of crayons I could make it cooler to look at, but I'm so happy you liked it. I read this a lot myself (I have it printed out on a wall in the hallway). The other tool I use and you may enjoy is a peice of the show coach carter... I posted it in the forum under "our deepest fears"... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-STD8... 2uestay (writer here) said "Thank you, I did not expect it to be what it was - it gave me goosebumps listening to it and brought tears to my eyes." so I hope it does the same for you. Good luck! (I have more of these to come....)
exactly! This whole concept hit me when I was a waiter (at Denny's!) and my day was escalating from good to horrible by the end of my shift. I spotted the pattern and widdled the variables down to a simple truth- it only takes one push to start a snowball effect, and if you don't stop it while the snowball is manageable- there is no stopping it until it crashes into something! Through experimentation I started to really take inventory of my day and the moment things started down hill... after several weeks I figured out that it was one benign comment (negative i.e. I don't want to be here or I want to be somewhere else) can start a snowball and once it's going the thought stream flows through a filter you create.
I started to catch myself every time I started to say something or even THINK something that wouldn't make my day better- the bad days stopped and I noticed I not only stopped the bad days and stress, I was MUCH more patient. I just applied this to every part of my life in different ways (this poem being one of them) and things are amazing and clear.
