Everything happens for a Reason

Okay how many times have you heard that? Well me myself so may that I stopped paying attention to the lesson. This year I am going to challenge myself to keep a daily log of my good days, and of my bad days- the hypothesis that they balance each other out - literally tit for tat .....Interesting you say............very much so. But think about it - some days you feel like its the worse day of your life and it could not get any worse, but in most cases that if you survive that day, and wake to see another day you have already proven that that day "was not" the worse day of your life because you lived to see another and make it different and better.
So I'm challenging any readers to keep a calendar, it could be a pocket, desk, computer, iphone, whatever is your tool. No real rules just that it has to be documented in some form, and it has to be determined what type of day it is at the peak of whatever situation you think is the determinate. For example: If you wake up late, there is no coffee, your significant other is naggin naggin about something that sounds like a foreign language everytime they mention it, can't find your keys to escape, and when you do, you go outside and you battery has been stolen or your car side swiped- At that point you have decided that this has a red x all over it. Okay this determination will serve as two functions 1) You know what you're in for for the remainder of the day, so be ready for it (set you clock ahead a few, stop at Coffee shop to get coffee, take care of what the nagging was about, get an extra key made for emergencies, and maybe park more cautiously next time.Now none of these movements will save the disasters of the day but - you will be prepared if any or all should occur at any given time in the future. 2) This situation will create an alter ego day, when everything is perfect, and you notice it and make recogiition and accountability that the bad day paid the price for you to have this good day. So how you log is up to you. X on bad day, happy face on good day, The details can be added if you want to. My hope in doing this is so we see what we get to frustrated to see, that as crazy as our lives may seem---THERE IS BALANCE, it may not pan out when or where we always want it, but its there. That appreciation even on a minute scale like this, I believe will change how we look at our life and most importantly the purpose of our life- Our reason for being. I am going to figure out how to add a calendar- so you can my progress or digress, who knows. But so far my data is as follows for 2010 1st day- happy face, 2nd happy face, 3rd day happy face - So far so good - either I rejoice or prepare for battle. I like rejoicing, I am sure I will need my laugh muscsles for battle - LMBO - Till next time. PS Send me your results
