Being alive is one of the greatest gifts. Some of the people we spent our childhood together with are no more. Some of our classmates are gone. There is a possibility that someone we spoke with today may not live to see the next day. So, being counted among the living every day is a blessing, but people do not even consider it or see it as a big deal. This is why we see people make preparations for tomorrow when they are not even sure they are going to see it.
God is great. Our Creator is one of a kind.
A good day? What is my own definition of a good day? What can make a good day turn bad? What makes me happy? What keeps me happy?
I am an overthinker, and I rethink every incident many times. Until something else happens that somehow surpasses the first thought, I might dwell on the first occurrence for a long time.
When it comes to a good day for me, as money seems to be one of the most important things in this world now, a day that I make money or make a massive profit is a good day for me. A day that I feel loved is a good day for me. A day I feel honoured is a good day for me. A day I help someone and see how useful I am is a good day for me because, at the end of the day, I replay it in my head, and it gives me a good night's rest.
I remember when I was still teaching, during the end-of-year party, a parent gave me a set of pots and thanked me for teaching her child well. I loved the gift, but I loved her words even more because she honoured me and recognised my influence in her child's life. This is why I used to say that there is so much honour in being a teacher, a good teacher, because parents will love you when you teach their children well or change them in a positive way.
There were so many times I received such appreciation from parents, and it made me love my job even more. It also motivated me to do extra for the pupils despite the meagre salary.
Some years ago, an old friend told me, "I do not care if everyone leaves, just do not leave." Her words filled me with joy that night. They made me feel important, and I kept thinking about them until I fell asleep that night. That was a good day for me.
Is it not amazing how a few sentences can make us forget about all our worries and put us in a happy mood?
That is the power of words, hence why we need to be careful before saying things that hurt others. The same mouth that says things that make people happy can also make them sad if we say the wrong things.
I do not need all the money in the world to be happy or for my day to be good. Neither do I need to be loved in an overwhelming way to have a good day. Little gestures matter a great deal to me, and little insults also get to me.
Sometimes, all it takes to make a day good is a little gesture, a few kind words, or simply knowing that we matter to someone. These little things may seem ordinary to others, but they can mean so much to you.
