What is it that makes a day a good day or a bad day? Many of us have various labels for the experiences we go through in life that define how positive or negative they were. What if you could look at your life and say that everyday had something good in it?
For someone who is physically ill and in the hospital a good day might be that they had enough strength to take two steps outside their hospital bed. For someone in jail a good day might mean that they had a night of escape through a comforting dream. For a homeless person a good day might mean that a stranger smiled at them. For a business man a good day might mean they made it through their work day without drowning in paperwork. For a college student a good day might mean they got enough points to pass their test to get into their dream school. The list goes on and on….
All of us are in a slightly different reality, clouded by perceptions, interpretations, and beliefs. So while you may have been in heaven today, your neighbor might have just been through a hellish day. How can two people living next to each other have extremely different experiences? You have to remember that life is what you make of it. You can choose to see something good hidden within every experience.
So ask yourself, “What is considered good day for me?” And better yet, “How can I make this day good?” What are some steps I can take to not only survive the day but thrive throughout the day?
Then ask yourself, “How can I bless someone today?” “How can I brighten those lives around me?” -by Britney Pieta
