At our home, the bathroom mirror would double up as a writing board. Birthday wishes, ‘welcome back’ messages, ‘things to do’ would be penned using colourful markers. Wishes and important messages would be seen at the right time… at the start of the day!
One morning, the mirror had a line written by my then 12-year old daughter: ‘Make today better than yesterday!’ She told me that she had read the words in a children’s magazine. I asked her as to how could one make today better than yesterday. Her reply was simple: ‘by being happy!’
Surely, it as uncomplicated! It is said so well that life is less about how we make it and more about how we take it. Never mind the mishaps, never find the hurdles and never mind the regrets; it all boils downs to how we respond to the stimuli and the situation.
Nevertheless, an affirmative attitude cannot be a postscript reaction. We have start every day with a resolve to make it a better. A better day is a matter of choice. We can choose a make a better day or we can choose to make it worse.
We can opt to be happy and proactive or we can opt to be unhappy and inactive. It does not mean being oblivious of or indifferent to the situation. It is about taking every challenge and situation head on with a positive willingness that is reinforced with an attitude of tolerance and contentment.
Make the choice to be happy every day
Make today better than yesterday!
