A Good Day

"You're not going to make me have a bad day. If there's oxygen on earth and I'm breathing, it's going to be a good day."
Cotton Fitzsimmons

Most of us do let other people ruin our day. We figure that if we didn't get done what we wanted to get done then our day was ruined. We think that if things didn't go the way we wanted them to go then our day was ruined. One small thing can ruin our whole day because we have this idea that things should go the way we want (and whenever we say "should" we get into trouble- should is a dirty word).

But why let other people ruin your day? You are giving them control over your life, that you need to take back. You can't have control over what anyone does or over what happens, but you always have control over how you react to it. And that is what makes the difference between having a good day or a bad day. You just need to change your perceptions.

Whatever happened to you, chances are there are many people experiencing much worse things, and you can be grateful you aren't one of them. Be grateful that you're alive and well. Don't take anything good for granted; there are so many blessings around us that we tend to ignore because we're concerned about the bad things. As long as you're alive, it's going to be a good day.
