All of us 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. On such days, one negative circumstance leads to another. On such a day, you may wonder whether anything in your life will ever go right again.
However, if you expand your awareness, 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 to learn 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.
Bad days can only have a long-term negative effect on us if we let them. It is far better to ask yourself what you can learn from these kinds of days.
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 comes as a teacher 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, and the world is not against you. Tomorrow is guaranteed to be a brighter day.
On a bad day, remember ‘This too shall pass away’…and do your best to learn what you can from this precious teacher.
