Doggone Days
There
will be days that are plainly and inexplicably chaotic while other days are
just purely awesome. We normally can’t choose how our days are gonna go, but we
still have a semblance of a choice. We can start by accepting a simple fact,
that is, we do not have control over everything, and anything really. Spontaneity
is a wonderful thing and it can be full of beautiful surprises too. Besides what
is bound to happen will happen whether we like it or not, and whether we alter
things in between while hoping for that ideal outcome.
There is Always a Better Way
To
some they may look at it and call it fate, and to some they may call it as they
see it; a bad day, a sticky situation, a predicament, but whatever it is, there
is no need to worry because worrying does nothing as the Dalai Lama puts it. The
great thing about any situation that may come our way is that it gives us a
choice or a semblance of a choice and that is on how we choose to react to
things that are constantly thrown at us. We can choose to focus on the pain, the
way it hit our faces, we can let it drag on our days or we can choose to let it
go and keep moving forward. There is always a better way!
Keep on Keeping On
The
struggle is real, I’ve been seeing this often these days and I can say the same
for myself, no exceptions. If you are among us who feel the same way, where
some of our days are not as great as other days, keep on keeping on. Do not
worry about everything too much; worrying does not bring you clarity over
things that need your complete focus. And besides everything has unbelievable ways
of sorting itself out, you’d be surprised. It’s not as if all your problems
will magically disappear, but with the time and effort you put in for whatever
struggle you’re faced with, it will work itself out eventually.
Free to Decide
Let’s
not fear our mistakes because this is the best way that we can truly learn.
Making a mistake today does not mean that we have eternally screwed our tomorrow.
This is not the end, this is just the beginning. Whether our beginning is good
or awesome, it depends entirely on how we choose to face them. We can face them
holding on to the burdens of the past or we can face them head on, confident as
ever and looking forward to the future. We’re all free to decide, the choice is
ours.
