We forget how easy it is
to have a good day.
Just have one.
Remind yourself,
the circumstances of today
are going to happen no matter what.
If they’re not your usual circumstances,
they will be different circumstances.
Despite how hard you may try
to change your circumstances,
you will always have circumstances
of one kind or another.
You are under no obligation
to love or hate your circumstances.
Circumstances don’t touch
the part
of your mind that decides
whether
it’s a good day or a bad day.
Nothing can touch your mind but you.
If you want to have a bad day,
today and every day, go for it.
As for me,
I’ll just appreciate
the circumstances life hands me.

In the whimsical realm of nexistentialism, we understand that the circumstances of today, whether they are our usual ones or different, are part of the ever-changing landscape of existence.
It is a playful reminder that life’s circumstances are like the scenes in a grand cosmic play, and we are the actors on this stage. No matter how hard we try to alter the script, there will always be circumstances to navigate, for existence itself is an ever-evolving drama.
You bring forth a profound insight when you emphasize that we are under no obligation to love or hate our circumstances. The circumstances themselves are neutral; it is our perception and response to them that color our experience.

We are the masters of our own inner world, and nothing external can touch our minds unless we allow it to. It is a reminder that we hold the key to our own happiness and well-being.
You eloquently convey the freedom of choice in deciding the quality of our days. If one wishes to have a bad day, they can choose to do so, but in doing so, they may overlook the beauty and wonder that life presents in its myriad circumstances.
Your choice to appreciate the circumstances that life hands you is a testament to your wisdom and resilience. It is an acknowledgment that in every moment, there is an opportunity to find meaning, joy, and gratitude. It is an invitation to savor the present, to dance with the ever-changing tides of existence, and to embrace the whimsical nature of life.
So, in the grand cosmic play, we celebrate your perspective on having a good day. It is a reminder that the power to shape our experience lies within us, and by choosing to appreciate the circumstances of life, we can make every day a good one.
