Want to have a good day?

Do good things.

It’s easy to allow what others say or do to determine what kind of day we will have. But allowing others to control whether our day is pleasant or not is, frankly, illogical. If we want to have a good day, we just need to do good things. Yes, it starts with us. That’s about as simple as cause and effect can get. It is also powerful. 

It’s our choice: spend our energy reacting to others’ negative actions or act from the goodness already within us. Instead of absorbing and being disturbed by what is disagreeable, do something worthwhile. So take charge. Block the negative energy or stop reflecting it. Emit positive energy—do good things. 

Will we immediately change the undesirable day to one filled with good results? Unlikely.

But regardless of the immediate external outcomes, we will know we did what’s right. The results can catch up with us later. Which is fine. Because for now, we’re having a good day.
