Every day is a good day

Our favourite morning button, Snooze

The alarm goes off, you smack the snooze button, 5 minutes later the one sound in the morning which you detest the most goes off again, reality sets in, your weekend is over. It's time to feel your way around, find your fluffy slippers, brave the cold, stormy weather, get out of your cozy bed and make your way to the office. As you drive to the office, car heater on full blast, your wipers speedily trying to get rid of the rain drops so that you can clearly see the car in front of you braking, one can admit not many positive thoughts are going through your mind as you realise you have another super busy week ahead. The truth is once you get to the office and your week starts, you get into the routine and realise why you enjoy your job so much, even though it has its stresses, challenges, late nights and sacrifices. At times we forget how lucky we are to have a job, roof over our heads, luxuries in life, the opportunity to further our education, spend time with family & friends, travel and not have many limitations in our lifes. With that said, every day is a good day, even though at times all you want to do is hide in the office bathroom or under your desk.

Every day is a good day if

• You are travelling, experiencing a new culture and city
• You are making a difference in the lives of others whether it be volunteering at your local NGO
• You are being challenged, mentally, emotionally and physically
• You are positive even if you did not get your dream job or did not get the response you wanted from your colleagues
• You have people in your life, who allow you to be you, embrace your individualism.
• You allow yourself to be you, embrace your strengths and weaknesses
• You are able to admit when you have made a mistake or misjudged a situation
• You are able to focus on following our passion in life even if it means having to sacrifice a few pleasures in life.

Every day is a good day, if you are able to focus on the positives in life, realise that life is not as smooth as a smoothy and things do not always go according to plan even if you did all the pre- planning.
