Do you agree with the phrase "your day is what you make of it"?

Answer 1

Yes, I think you can wake up and say "is this going to be a good day or a bad day"? It's all in the way you react to situations. Not everything in life is good, it's balanced like God intended it to be. How you view things make a difference. I try to see the good beyond the bad, so I have more good days than not (I'm allowing room for PMS and kids/husband here - lol).My husband is the opposite, so I've never heard him say he's had a good day. I try to raise my kids to have a positive outlook. I always tell them that today is a choice. They can choose to be happy and enjoy the things/people around them. Or they can choose to be sour and surely everything possible will go wrong because they will see only the down side to everything.

Answer 2

Certainly through anyones "day" there can arise issues that detour one even from some well thought out plan.
In that same context we as humans have the ability, the freedom of "choice" and at all times should exercise it.
"Crafting ones Day" should be the first thought upon waking, while at the same time accepting, tolerating, even compromising in some situational, circumstantial issues that may pop up, that seem to be outside your ability to control.

Good Q!

Answer 3

MANY TIMES LIFE CAN DISH OUT SOME REAL SHHT AND YES THE WAY YOU DEAL WITH IT DOES EFFECT THE DAY YOU ARE HAVING. I HAVE LEARNED THAT ONLY SOME DAYS APPLY TO THIS PHRASE OTHERS ARE TOTALLY AND DIRECTLY HELL DUE TOO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE BEYOND YOUR CONTROL. YOU CAN BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR ACTIONS AND DECISIONS ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO DOES NOT CHANGE THE SITUATION NO MATTER WHAT. THE PHRASE IS BS IN MOST CASES!!!

Answer 4

Yes, I do. Nobody make you be happy about something but you and no one can make you be mad about something but you. I think the same applies to life as well. We can either choose to make the most out of our lives or we can simply get by without finding any true meaning to it. And as humans we need meaning in our lives, we need to know that we're here for a reason. People can deny that all they want but in the end that's all it will remain. Denial!

Answer 5

Yes, dear. Attitude is everything. The difference between a pile of **** and a pile of compost is how we look at things. Good and bad things happen everyday that are out of our control. All we can control is our attitude and how we perceive it. The glass half empty or half full.

Answer 6

Absolutely. The day (or your life) may still play out as it does. Yet, it's how a person responds / reacts to the events of one's day (or life) that is of value and importance.

Everyone has their 'story' (of life's events). Yet, what has a person done with those ' stories '. How has a person moved forward in their day (life) to a place of strength and growth.

Answer 7

well i would believe that if that damn 2x4 stud would not have fell off that rack at the lumber store and damn near broke my arm. Made for a very painful day and I did not make that. Now one can say it is all how you deal with that pain...Tell that to my neurons and pain receptors cause they don't listen to me or the pain killers.

Answer 8

Never. Even if you lived in a deserted island, you would still have the environment of which you have no control of. There's nothing you can make, do, or control. We just like to think we do, make and control; it's called the EGO.

Answer 9

To a point,sometimes your day is what others decide to make of it.I feel sometimes people just don't want anyone around them to be in a good mood.

Answer 10

Yes, if you start positive but then things get negative and you decide to become negative then that will be the rest of your day!
