Every day is a good day

“Every day is a good day” is a simple statement, but very few know its real meaning. The “good day” does not refer to a nice day as compared to a bad day. It means the absolute, not the relative, day. Today is the absolute day, the only day in the eternity of time. Today is never repeated. Every day is fresh and new just as one’s life is new each day. Every day is a good day, but the good is not of one’s own making. It is good in the original, or absolute, sense—rain or shine, war or peace, sickness or health. The past is only reference; the future is only hope. Today is real.” This is from Rev. Gyomay Kubose’s book "Zen Koans."

Stop living in the past and wishing for the future, live each day to its absolute fullest, making each day count. We are sometimes so busy thinking about what could have been or should have been or planning so much ahead that we forget the moments that we are living presently. If we live each day to the fullest, enjoying each moment, we will have a good day everyday.

Charlotte Bronte said, “I try to avoid looking forward or backward, and try to keep looking upward”. Everyday can be a good day if you make the right person part of your life.
