The Author's Corner: Better Days

What are better days and when will we get there? So many days have passed where we have been told that those better day are just around the corner. Are you in those better days or still searching for them?

Something that most people do not see is that we are all able to be in better days, however there is always those who say that they are to come in the future. Today we woke up and it is up to us to make the day for the better because today is the beginning of better days. We can take every moment in either the positive or negative way of thinking. Thus, we have the ability to choose when we have them.

Over the time that we have spent working and living our personal lives, we have lost touch with what truly is a great day. It is waking up, getting ready for work, if you have kids to get them ready for their day and the running continues all day long until bedtime, just to have to do it all over again the following day. We spend our time at work, which is normally eight hours of stress and then we go home to make supper and other choirs, so much for a better day you would think.

In the same breath of a busy day, you have a few free moments where you are able to plan for tomorrow. No matter what day of the week it is, even when you have days off you still feel rushed. This is true for most people and they wonder when they will have better days.

Better days is more of a frame of mind than anything else. The day that we are in is all we really have. When you wake up in the morning it is the beginning of a new day that your were not promised. Most of us do not see this fact because we just go through the motions of our daily lives without clearly seeing what we have in life. Yet we can change this pattern.

For those who do make this change, time will come to a stop or at least slow down. The morning drive to work becomes enjoyable and the tasks that you perform become rewarding. This is what better days are which is by finding the simple joys of life. You may have bumped you coffee or tea and spilt it all over the floor, you can look at it as you get upset or laugh because you are still half asleep. That is where the changes happen. Starting off with waking up today is a positive thing. The problem is that most people do not see that.

They say we hold the key to how our lives happen. We may not be able to control everything, however what we do control is how we act in any situation that happens during the day. Be strong and focus your attention on your own actions because those things are what creates better days.

Stay safe.
