Make it Happen Monday: What’s Right?
I often catch myself saying the words, “what’s wrong” several times a week. Whether it’s in the direction of my baby boy who’s crying, my older kids’ upset tone, or a sigh of frustration from my Wife….those two words seem to be the first to pop out.
If you believe in the power of words and the incredible things they can do, than focusing on the negative is not something you want to be doing. I know better, but still seem to have these words slip out without even thinking. For some reason I use the words, “what’s wrong” a lot more than saying “what’s right”. I wonder why this is?
I’m going to continue working at focusing on the positive and am going to start off this week by asking all of you…..What’s Right? Give me the goods and let me know about all the right things that are happening for you today on and off the bike.

Great post Darryl, I definitely forget too often to look at everything that is right in my life.
What is right for me right now, is that I am loving the bike!
Thanks Shawn. Loving the Bike is definitely something that is totally “right”. Great attitude and let’s make 2012 the best year for life and riding….ever.
I guess the easiest way to respond is to say my life is right, both on and off of the bike, I’ve also made no secret that it’s because of the bike.
As you already know, I love your attitude and I’m so happy to hear that it resonates from the bike. Remember what I said….this is the year of the Rockstar, my man.
I love this!! So true!! As a mom of two and a wife to a somewhat stressed hubby, I am alwaysssssss saying “whats wrong?”!! Great reminder to focus on the flip side!! What’s right today : Suns out=nice run outside! Going to get my bike down and start getting it ready to ride!! 😉
Sounds pretty awesome to us. Great to hear that this one helped spark you a little…..all the best to you in 2012.
Dude! Totally know what you mean! Thats another great #NYRevolution for everyone out there!
For any of those out there who don’t know what #NYRevolutions is….it’s a place where you can post your New Year’s Resolutions and have people help keep you accountable and support you. I believe it is focused on bicycle related goals, but I’m sure they’ll taken any goals you have.

in the words of Don Henley
I’ve got great expectations
I’ve got family and friends
I’ve got satisfying work
I’ve got a back that bends
For every breath, for every day of living
This is my Thanksgiving
I like the fact that you often use song lyrics to send a message across….awesome. This is another great one, Tim.
Great reminder…very simple, but very tough to remember. What’s right for me? Have a job, have my health, a great family and an opportunity to make a difference. Thanks for the posting.
I do the Make it Happen Monday series because I need the reminders for myself. I’m glad this one helped remind you of all the good things as well. Happy New Year.
I am going to cycle my first 100 miles this year!
That is one awesome goal….and definitely something that is so “Right” on.
