Hello Beautiful People!
I hope your day is going well, and your week has been even better. If not, here’s a gentle reminder that each day is literally a new day. The only thing that remains from yesterday and the past is what you bring into today, what you were unable to deal with then. Tomorrow and the future remain a mystery and don’t exist until you decide what today will be.
In a world where our mistakes and the negative things that happen tend to have more of a spotlight than the things that went right or the simple moments that made the day easier, it is up to you to remember that each day is a new day to get it right, to make it better, and to give yourself love for a job well done, or at the very least, for doing the best you were able to at any given moment. You can change the trajectory of your life with each decision you make in real time. It may not be easy, but in reality, it is simple. It is literally making the decision to let go of what you think something should be, letting go of what you want it to be, letting go of past grievances, and moving forward in what is.
Life happens, and along the way, good and bad play a part in the development of it. How you respond, handle, engage, focus on, and hold onto it is what determines the quality of your life. Not to be confused with circumstances and situations that are beyond your control, no, the things that are good are nestled in between all of the “stuff.” When you focus on that, it makes the other stuff move to the background as you handle it to the best of your ability while living in the gratitude of what is good and allowing it to float to the surface. Good and Bad. They both exist and they both will remain. What you live in is up to you. You can either live in the darkness of what is while occasionally recognizing the gratitude of what is good. Or you can live in the gratitude of what is good while handling the darkness to the best of your ability. Same life, all happening at once, but it’s your decision. It’s simple, yet hard, because the mind is the part you have to wrangle. And each day, you get a new opportunity to get it right as you work your way, little by little, toward the life that has always been waiting for you.
I wish you well on this life journey.
Until next time, love you lots! – Sacred
