There is something good in everyday

You wake up in the morning, open your eyes and possibly think, “I need coffee or Tea”. Afterwards you proceed to get ready for your day,  hustling and bustling trying to either get to work or whatever your agenda entails for that day. Somewhere in your subconscious mind, you have already seeded the thought for the day “today is a good day or a bad day”. At that moment, of that thought, your day begins…

Sometimes despite all your engagements , you feel alone. Most people despise being alone.However, there is a power in being able to find contentment in solitude, even if this is a forced one. In my opinion, a great deal of the pain caused by loneliness is due to a lack of control. Solitude is easy to enjoy when it isn’t forced. I think most people enjoy a few hours or even a few days to themselves if their regular lives are full of activity and meaningful people.

So when you lack control over your situation, solitude becomes loneliness. If you feel your isolation wasn’t chosen, and you can’t control it, that exile can be unbearable. The key, in my opinion, to reducing loneliness, is to regain some control.

 For me , the best way to enjoy solitude is by improving my inner world first. I may have had difficulties controlling my loneliness  from the outside, but I could control my inner world so that it would be more pleasant to live in isolation.

I quote what George Washington had said-It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.


Of course we can and should keep our composure and happiness regardless of circumstances - regardless of our friends, family and co-workers - regardless of gossip, sarcasm, and negativity.

That is why, I believe “Every day may not be good, but there’s something good in everyday” and with this intention,I  want all my  friends to nurture this positive thought by sharing the smallest good thing that made them happy (even if it was for a while) for that day with me.

Well,I for one don't think anyday as to be inherently good or bad .A little deep thinking will make it clear that our own attitude ,circumstances around us and our response to them make or mar our day.Truly. by attempting to control our situation or at least our response to them and by developing positive attitude we can find ' little good in everyday'.
On the day,i m satisfied with MYSELF is good day for me bcoz i feel that before being judgemental towards anyone or anything one should do a little self analysis.SOME DAYS ARE REALLY BORING ,DISTRESSFULL AND BAD WHEN WE FEEL LIKE BEING IN DUMP.However there is no option other than to heal our heart with positivity and try to see that unsatisfactory days in our life dont occur regularly.This means that we should develop an attitude with which we can see failure as an opportunity to improve,loneliness as an opportunity to reach our soul ,back stabbing as an opportunity to see things in clearer perspective and so on.

So, the question ultimately comes down to our attitude. If our attitude is positive ,then naturally we can find opportunity to develop even in bad situations. So aprt from other qualities, this positive attitude is one which every one should possess. The second thing- it is foolish to think that everyone will be good for me and that everyday will be good for me.variations in person's attitude and situations is a natural thing, only we should learn the art of tackling them properly.
