I don't hope you're having a "good day" today.
Why?
Because the "day" has really nothing to say about
it.
The quality of your day has nothing to do with all the random unexpected circumstances, events, conversations or thoughts that pop into your life and into your head.
Seriously. Telling someone to "Have a good day" or "I hope you have a good vacation!" or "I hope your relationship is going good." is part of our pop culture problem.
And it has a LOT to do with the excess number of
highly sensitive, highly reactive and highly anxious people these days.
If you were teaching a child a lesson on "How to Have a Good Day", would you teach him/her to "hope for the best"?
Would you teach them they are at the whim of every single unknown circumstance, event or word someone says
to them?
Would you teach them to just point their head down, stay away from trouble and try not to upset anyone?
Hell no, you wouldn't. I know this about you.
You would teach a very different lesson to the child about their self-esteem, their worthiness and their ABILITY TO BRING THEIR BEST SELF INTO EACH AND EVERY DAY.
You would teach them that all those outside
circumstances, words or thoughts are AT THE WHIM OF THEM AND THE SPIRIT THEY BRING INTO EACH AND EVERY DAY.
So...next time someone asks you, "Did you have a good weekend?", I'd love for you to reply, "Nope, the weekend had a good ME!"
In this video I go a little deeper into WHY this is the only reasonable and intelligent approach to each day.
