Doesn't life seem so quaintly beautiful at times. An easy stroll through a string of joyous events, all ascending from a particular moment after you woke up. The time was so eloquently perfect and the tasks of the morning seemed at ease with the universe. All was aligned.
On the other hand, doesn't life seem to hand you some over-rip lemons and you try to conjure up the tastiest glass of lemonade you can possibly make. But your out of sugar and have to hand squeeze them all. All stemming from a turn of events this morning that just made everything out of sync.
We wake up and the coffee taste just right and the sun popped out just over the glowing green grass.
Or,
We wake up, although we overslept our alarm, and the coffee maker decided to crap out and the clothes are still wet in the dryer.
Like a string of events that either lead one smooth direction or an alternate misshapen, slightly rocky direction. Often being traceable to a specific point in the beginning part of the day.
Are these random events that just so happened in our day. Do some days yield us a fair turn of events that are neither inherently good or bad but a common mixture of both. Also, creating less probable ones that have are just a direct rope of good or bad cases throughout the day.
A statistician might say yes, this is how nature happens. It is a constant set of circumstances occurring in somewhat of a random order. Out of a jar of red and white marbles, we will sometimes grab a handful of all red or a handful of all white. But most often, we will grab a random amount of each.
I mean that is the greatest statistic in our life's. Are not most days filled with good, bad and neutrality. With every now and then being blissful days of nothing but good or lousy days filled with nothing but calamity.
This can come down to true math, if we labeled each specific time of events 1, 2, 3, ......and so on. And this could be a true possibility, that may even innately hold some theoretical weight to it.
Because if it is just a random occurrence of affairs then we can have faith that most days are good and can be taken as such. Other days are bad and can be known they will always pass. And some days are wondrous and are to be enjoyed and cherished knowing that when they are over, the odds are we will see one again in due time.
So, it can be thought to take head in our actions and responses knowing that the universe and nature will always balance things out for us and life will overall be a grand spectacle to look back on and take pride and happiness in who you are and what you did.
But on the ladder side, do we not direct the day by a reaction or mood that sets the bar. Do we not continually frustrate and create friction, in turn creating one harsh moment to the next. Or skip down the stairs with a smile showing appreciation for the world, the people around us, and the great things we've been given.
Or even yet, can we not change the feeling and connection to moments by changing the thoughts that are pacing around in our heads. Either disheartening us or empowering us and carrying that along with us changing the energy and course of the day.
Can we not make a good day BAD with the turning of an emotional key?
Can we not make a bad day GREAT with the uplifting of a positive thought?
A most profound Chicken or the Egg question. Which is the cause? Which is the truth?
I would air on the side of both potentially being correct. We can affect the day with the thoughts we carry along. While there are also days that just won't go into our ideal order.
The thoughts we think can control the events to a dramatic degree. There will be days that just go smoothly or painfully but they are both here and gone before we even know it. Its just a matter of time perception really that makes the bad seem long sometimes and the good seem short.
I think the thought that can be taken from the above portion can be summarized by saying, let us know that happiness and suffering will always pass us by, so we must enjoy the warmth of the sun and stay calm in the storms. But let us not carry the negatives with us for more than is necessary and remember to thank the positives for showing us the joys in life.
Is there a controllable aspect to the good and bad around us? Or is life about acceptance of all the good and bad that may come our way, but knowing that nothing sticks forever and change is always to come?
