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.
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.
