Facing "A Nice Day" To-Be
When we wake up to "a nice day", it paves the direction for good things to follow. One good thing automatically leads to another good event, another good opportunity, another good solution. When a day is running smoothly, everything is automatically easy for us to face. But what happens when it suddenly begins to "rain"? Does our mind-set cause this "rainy" day to progress to a "pouring" day, or are we still able to face the "bad" and ensure ourselves of having "a nice day"? I believe it's all up to us. After all, "rain" does justice to time and all that time allows to happen. And for it to "rain" does justice to the possibilities that the universe provides for us to experience the full cycle of anything. If it never "rained" means there would be no good, sunshiny "nice days" to follow. "Negative" aspects appear and happen for a reason, and it is up to us to accept and allow them to complete their course so that the "good" aspects have a chance to be born. To face the occurrence of "bad" things means we are already in the mind-set to face the good things to come. Even when things do not seem perfectly "nice", it is actually "a nice day" in the making.
Appreciating "A Nice Day" Around
When the sun shines in perfect warmth on our faces, do we apprepriate that the sensation is not overly hot or cool, rather than seeing it as a disturbing wake-up call from nature? When we open our eyes first thing in the morning to see our loved one safely lying beside us, do we appreciate that we have someone physically and emotionally bond with, rather than seeing him as an emotional burden? When our boss takes the time out to nurture our potential, do we appreciate the kindness of heart, and not see him as pointing out our weaknesses? And when we can still bend down to tie our shoelaces at the age of 70, will we appreciate the simple pleasures in life, instead of seeing our life as nearing its end? These four lovely scenarios encourage and drive our mind to see, hear, feel, taste and smell each of its beauty in full, as we should. Even when the "nice day" has already arrived, it won't be "nice" if we don't treat the day NICE.
No news is good news. Even when another day falls short of being "nice", it is still "nice" to treat the day as NICE. |
