Some days I wake up and the world is my oyster. The sun is shining, work is good and my to do list glows with possibility.
Other days not so much.
It’s usually not that anything is wrong, per se. The sun is just as bright, work is on schedule, the world continues to turn. All good things, but there are never just good things. I like to at least try to look on the bright side but of course, not everything is awesome all of the time. And some days the not so good carries a little more weight.
Inevitably, you will miss the bus, your loved ones will not always be healthy, dogs (and software glitches) do eat homework, and the good guys don’t win every round.
Fair enough. But what is the antidote to this not awesome?*
Action.
Make something. Do what you can. Help someone, even if it is yourself.
Life isn’t always positive but you’re creative, interesting, smart, capable and fun. When you can, be an island of hope in a not-always uplifting world.
Answer not good with great.
“This is the world as it is. This is where you start.”
