There’s a day in life when everything changes. Suddenly you realize that what you have always thought to be important is no longer that important.
You start to see things from a different perspective. You notice the colors of nature around you, the beauty of your city that just yesterday appeared so empty.
Monday mornings are no longer monday mornings. Nothing is like before.
This is the day when everything changes. Today you are alive and conscious. You are seeing the world with new eyes, your real eyes, the world you were always meant to be seeing from the beginning. You realize that until yesterday you were only seeing the world through sunglasses.
Now you finally see opportunities instead of problems. You see being stuck in the traffic as an opportunity to call an old friend. You see a lesson to learn in everything and you can always find the positive side in everything you do or that happens to you.
You get rid of all the nonsense tasks that were only cluttering your life. You start to live simply and you do what you really want to do, the rest can wait.
If you could describe this state of mind in two words, they would be: calm and clarity. Calm means that you are no longer in a rush, and clarity means that you are consciously deciding what’s important to you, and you are consciously deciding how to react to external events.
I’m sure you have experienced a day like this before. Perhaps it happened after you received something that you liked a lot, or maybe you just woke up like that one day. It doesn’t matter, you were alive, and you were happy.
Each morning you have a choice. You can decide to see the world through your eyes and your heart, or you can decide to wear sunglasses like yesterday. It’s really up to you.
I assure you that it doesn’t hurt to get up in the morning with a smile, to smell the fresh air through the window of my car while I go to work, and to be always positive.
No, I’ve not always been like that. And yes, there are still days where it’s difficult to be motivated. But eventually it’s only up to me to decide how I want to feel, and the same is true for you.
Decide to feel good. Now.
