Listen to the Episode Here (09:21)
Have you ever had a bad day?… We all have bad days…
Do you feel like you are having more bad days than good days lately?
The question is when that happens do you wish for a better day, where everything goes right.
Or…do you take that moment to appreciate the value of a bad day.
Now I know that sounds tough and probably easier said than done, but it’s something that would be good for you to take a minute to think about.
What I am trying to say is that we need to remind ourselves that our “perspective” is what creates our life. Our thoughts and filter on our thoughts is what creates our life, because it is what will drive our actions and create results.
So, when you have a bad day, do you find a way to appreciate the value of a bad day so that you can either “learn” something or “appreciate” more in your life.
1- Learn from the Struggle
2- Appreciate the Good Days
I was recently having a difficult day and heard a song come on the radio. It was a song that really brought awareness to my day and helped me to shift my focus and attention to the 2 things I just mentioned. (Learning & Appreciation). Let me read the words to you in hopes of inspiring you a bit today…
Song by Brantley Gilbert
You would’ve never learned the words to “Amazing Grace”
Never felt the chill of a pew when you lost faith
Well, blood, sweat, and tears wouldn’t mean a thing
If you didn’t strike out a couple hundred times
If you never hit rock bottom, never cussed the sky
You would’ve never known to ask the good Lord why
Or ever changed your life
If you never had hard days
If you never had a heartbreak
Never had more than you can take
Or carried the weight
Of life on your shoulders
Would you feel like you earned it?
Would you live with a purpose?
Or ever known your own strength
If you never had hard days?
You wouldn’t know what it’s like to dance in the rain
Never see the silver lining when the skies go grey
You wouldn’t know a dream come true from a few that don’t
You’d never find your way on a broken road
If you never had hard days
If you never had a heartbreak
Never had more than you can take
Or carried the weight
Of life on your shoulders
Would you feel like you earned it?
Would you live with a purpose?
Or ever known your own strength
If you never had
If you never had the downs, the scuffs, the scars, the ruts
And all you put behind you
When the wins, the ups, the rise aboves
Are right there to remind you
If you never had hard days
If you never had a heartbreak
Never had more than you can take
Or carried the weight
Of life on your shoulders
Would it feel like you earned it?
Would you live with a purpose?
Or ever known your own strength
If you never had
If you never had hard days?
Yeah, if you never had hard days
I feel like those are some some real inspiring words, and I hope you feel the same.
Let me suggest to you some ways you can turn around your awareness or your bad days in general.
-surround yourself with positive
-practice gratitude
-journal your thoughts
-find a mentor
-prepare in advance (music, notes, quotes, etc)
Now let me leave you with the Daily Mastermind
Quote of the Day
Turn Rejections into Opportunities
I hope that you will start to view the bad days as necessary and something you appreciate. Learn to love, appreciate and grow from the bad days.
