There is only one day like today. There may be infinite days as seen in world time, and, even so, there will never be another day like today. Not the day itself nor your day within the day. There is not one person, not even one twin, identical to another. Furthermore, in every person, there is change whether you see it or not. Change is perpetual in the world. Change is inevitable. No two days are alike, no two people are alike, and no two days or two people stay exactly the same. Anyway, there is no real purpose in tracking the ways in which days and people stay the same nor is there value in tracking the ways days and people are different.

There are zillions of expressions of what a particular day in time and space is like. For one person, it is the happiest day of his life. For another, it’s the worst day. For someone else it was okay. On the same day, someone met his true love, and someone else lost his true love, and yet the day is just doing its thing, just there as a background, seemingly an obstacle to one, and to another, a benefactor. The days are innocent, beloved. And when you come down to it, so are you innocent, the seeming innocent bystander who relishes the day or rues it and finds it what he finds it.

There is your perception that you are life’s captive, yet you have everything to do with your life. Is the life you experience merely an opinion you have along the way as you walk across one day to another? This idea of your life being your opinion is worth pondering. We already know how your opinions may change right before your eyes.

No one knows, and no one can speak up for your life today nor to debate it. You are the only one who has the right to declare your day. Rate it well.

No matter what the level of life you live, you have your full share of happiness and your full share of what is called unhappiness. Unhappiness could be termed as your unawareness of happiness. Your true state of equanimity is your birthright. You are not a baseball to be batted. Have more awareness of happiness. Happiness is available to everyone. A lot has to do with how you look at happiness. How you perceive plays a big part in the kind of day you surmise you have had.

Even on what you term a bad day, could you not be happy? Could you not savor the day? Even on a bad day, could you not savor the aroma of coffee? Is there a doubt that someone might be overjoyed to have the day that you may have complained about? And might you, if given what you call a bad day today, might you also not be happy on that same day? Is there really a day to throw away?

When you look back at days bygone, perhaps spent in an ordinary way with a friend, not a special day at all, but if today you could spend even a non-special day with your friend who has left Earth, would you not love every minute of it and call the day a remarkable day?

But, of course, you do not want to live in the past. You would like to live today and find it a remarkable day. A great deal depends upon how you look at the day before you. A great deal depends upon you.
