We all have days from time to time when it feels like the world
is against us or that the chaos we are experiencing will never end. One
negative circumstance seems to lead to another. You may wonder, on a bad day,
whether anything in your life will ever go right again. But a bad day, like
any other day, can be a gift. Having a bad day can show you that it is time
to slow down, change course, or lighten up. A bad day can help you glean
wisdom you might otherwise have overlooked or discounted. Bad days can
certainly cause you to experience uncomfortable feelings you would prefer to
avoid, yet a bad day may also give you a potent means to learn about
yourself.
You may consider a bad day to be one where you've missing an important
meeting because your car stalled, the dryer broke, and you received a piece
of very bad news earlier in the morning. Multiple misfortunes that take place
one after the other can leave us feeling vulnerable and intensely cognizant
of our fragility. But bad days can only have a long-term negative effect on
us if we let them. It is better to ask yourself what you can learn from these
kinds of days. The state of your bad day may be an indicator that you need to
stay in and hibernate or let go of your growing negativity.
Bad days contribute to the people we become. Though we may feel discouraged
and distressed on our bad days, a bad day can teach us patience and
perseverance. It is important to remember that your attitude drives your
destiny and that one negative experience does not have to be the beginning of
an ongoing stroke of bad luck. A bad day is memorable because it is one day
among many good days -- otherwise, we wouldn't even bother to acknowledge it
as a bad day. Know too, that everybody has bad days, you are not alone, the
world is not against you. Tomorrow is guaranteed to be a brighter day.
