Ever had that one day when everything just goes wrong? When all the stars align to just shit on you and make you feel like you unknowingly wronged the universe. Yesterday I had that kind of day. From losing the trust of one of my customers which is a very big deal, to failing to deliver a consignment of goods to another prime client as a result of negligence by one of my suppliers, to losing my phone on my way home which is still a mystery to me. On my way home I began thinking that things couldn’t get any worse. So in true universe fashion, to top it all off, I had a massive argument with the girlfriend when I finally made it home which has landed me in the silent treatment corner.

Usually I just take it all up in stride and pretend that it does not bother me at all by sweeping it all under the rug and letting it fester. But this time, I want to try a different approach. Accept that it is what it is. Just a shitty day. Exactly just that, plain and simple. When you are down on your knees with nowhere else to go, just be thankful. Be thankful for the little things in life that have brought you joy in the past. Instead on dwelling on what is wrong, look at the bigger picture, I’m talking about being the glass half full kind of guy. So despite all that I’m thankful for my health, my family, for the future opportunities to come and thankful that I was able to get up in the morning and see the sun and the beauty of the world.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade cause the vitamin C in that sucker is good for you. Trust me.
