We all have bad days and within these days is usually a gem of a gift
waiting to be opened. 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. |
