Here’s a piece written by a good friend of mine. It has much to do with something I’ve been thinking a lot about for a while now, and it came as much of a relief to me when he sent this… Time, isn’t it just a measure, a measure of our lives? And a new month, new year or what have you, isn’t it just another day in the real sense of it?

This piece I think has a mild, straight forward approach and helps put certain things in perspective. Enjoy! And happy new month to you! (I haven’t been saying that in recent times, but regardless of all, it’s a day worth celebrating just like any other day) happy new day then if you may 😀

…check, 12AM
Increment month: +1
Display: HAPPY NEW MONTH              Another new month, right? I guess it is. So it is safe to say happy new month to you all. Happy new month? Wait one minute, what makes it a new month? That the Calendar showed December instead of November? Or that it is another day? I will go for it is another day. Another day just like the last ones you have had. Another day where you have to fight for your survival so you can see another day. Another day you have to be in an unending traffic with lines assignments with ending deadlines. Another day your stomach doesn’t even care if you still have enough on you to get it satisfied but it is still going to let you know that you need to eat. Another day you get to celebrate the just received promotion and then you get to be addressed differently, perhaps in the new exquisite office with a new secretary. Another day for…
The list is not endless.
The life is endless.
But it really doesn’t matter if you don’t get to experience all of the ‘good’ part of it and it really doesn’t matter if you do get to experience all of the ‘bad’ part of it.
Hold up another minute!
Does it not matter?
What even is this good or bad you talking about?
Is bad when you are on your 3hour journey to work and you get stranded at 90 minutes to work, like myself, this morning?
Or is good having a bowl of pancake and some funny tasting drink in your front for breakfast this morning?
You get to decide that! Did you hear me? Let me write it again, you get to decide what is good and what is bad.
The situation might not be what exactly you are expecting to happen, but you sure have a say on how you respond to it and that is what makes it good or bad. You can decide to make what  seem like what you want into something you can work with and you can also decide to just leave the situation that way and let it and let things go the way they want to but I assure you, it most likely will not improve the situation. Its all left to you.
I almost forgot this. You get to decide if it is a new month also. And I am deciding it is a new month for me. Happy new month!
