Why it’s okay to have bad days
Even the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person. If you’re having a bad day, it can feel like things will never get better. However, the fact is that tomorrow is a new day and a new opportunity to improve your life.
No One Promised Life Would Be Perfect
“If you look for perfection, you’ll never be content.” -Leo Tolstoy
Don’t condition your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself. Setting goals is key to life. That’s the only way we move toward the kind of life we really want. However, if you’re having a bad day, goals can feel unattainable and challenges insurmountable.
Goals are not met overnight. It’s good to be ambitious, but you’ll never be perfect. If you expect otherwise, your life will be rife with disappointments. When you stumble on a goal you’re trying to achieve, learn the lesson it offers and move forward.
When you had a bad day, use the moments before you sleep to review your goals. You can write them down or even journal about each of them. This will help you refocus your mind for the next day.
Your lows help you appreciate the highs.
Without the hard times the good times will be pointless you need to pass through the hard times to make you appreciate the good times
And hard times are good in their own way, too. Because the only way you can achieve true happiness is if you experience true sadness as well. It’s all about light and shade. Balance. You may go through very difficult time. Where you feel like a failure but remember one thing, struggle and hard times are the most inspirational thing in the world.
“Hard times are sometimes blessings in disguise. We do have to suffer but in the end it makes us strong, better and wise.” Anurag Prakash Ray
Your happiness will probably return.
The sadness will not last forever
at some point, weeks or months after your difficulty has passed, you’ll probably feel as happy as you were before the negative life event happened. That doesn’t mean that events can’t have a long-term influence on how happy you are.
