If there’s one thing I know we all wake up from bed hoping for, it will be to have good day filled with good news. Everyday in our lives that we get to experience is us being a step towards our future goals. Some of us have goals and dreams bigger than us yet we make sure we wake up everyday with a grateful and hopeful heart.

However, not everything will go as planned and that’s why we are bound to have good days as well as bad days and believe me, it’s normal for us all. Even the most comfortable people have bad days. I bet you they have more bad days than lay men like us. At the end of the day, we all hope to end the day with peace in our hearts and the feeling of accomplishing something for ourselves.

I don’t always happen to wake up on the good side of my bed. Some days I wake up more exhausted than I slept and I just pray the sun never comes out because this can’t be the life I prayed and worked so hard for a few years ago. Sometimes I say it’s a blessing to be living and be stressed out from the life I wanted years ago and other days I ask myself who sent me into all this in the first place.

A friend told me recently that if you never feel this way then you’re not doing things right. Feeling this way is normal for everyone and I bet you even yen richest man in the world feels that he’s not doing his best sometimes. That’s just how the world is. At the end of the day, I have to get myself out of bed and get ready for the day ahead.

How the day will go, I have no idea but what I know is that I must have a good day and whatever happens, I’m not going to allow anyone deny me of that. One thing I’ve learnt over the years is never to show too much emotion or let people get a reaction out to you in any case whatsoever. We have people around us at work, in school or even just on the street who will go to any lengths to get us to act out of character. Today, I tell you not to give them that satisfaction.

A good day for me is a day where I don’t allow anyone steal my shine which is everyday. A good day is a day where I don’t act out of character. A good day is a day where I don’t conquer the world but rather do something as little it can be done towards achieving my dreams. A good day is a day I can look back to and smile. A good day is a day where I make memories no matter how little and a good day is a day where I just live. Not for anyone, but for myself.

Life isn’t meant to be hard really. The days move by so fast you can’t afford to waste them on things that don’t matter. Today for instance has been a good day because I went about my daily activities, had food to eat, spoke to my family, friends and loved ones and laughed at my friends silly jokes. If this isn’t a good day, I don’t know what is.
