How many times have you been asked, “What’s been going on?” or “How’s it going?” or “What’s up?” ?
My answer is always the same, “Not much. Just another beautiful day.”
Most of the time the time my response provokes the other person to look outside and say something about the weather. If it is rainy, snowy, cold, or extremely hot people usually think I am being sarcastic, but I am not. That’s because I am never referring to the weather.
What else makes a day beautiful?
For me, it’s the fact that I am upright, above ground, and given the opportunity to live another day. You can think of every day at work, home, or elsewhere as an opportunity to impact the people around you. Each day is an opportunity to stretch yourself outside of your comfort zone; to learn about something new; to meet someone new; to help someone; or in some other way to experience this beautiful gift we have been given.
You might be thinking, “Wow, you must have an easy life. This all sounds great but my life is not that happy. Happiness keeps avoiding me. I could maybe be more thankful for life if I could get what I want out of life.”
Which roads lead to happiness? The answer is the road marked with the exact same name. Happiness is a path, not a destination.
Imagine yourself standing at the beginning of about 10 different roads. One is marked desire, another is anger, another is judgment, another happiness, another is apathy, etc. Mmmm…I wonder where each road may lead?
Choose your destination by choosing your path.
Have a beautiful day!
Love and Let
