Finding The Gift

Bad Days

We all have days when it feels like the world is against us or that the chaos we are experiencing will never end. One negative circumstance seems to lead to another. You may wonder, on a bad day, whether anything in your life will ever go right again. But a bad day, like any other day, can be a gift. Having a bad day can show you that it is time to slow down, change course, or lighten up. A bad day can help you glean wisdom you might otherwise have overlooked or discounted. Bad days can certainly cause you to experience uncomfortable feelings you would prefer to avoid, yet a bad day may also give you a potent means to learn about yourself.

You may consider a bad day to be one where you have missed an important meeting because your car stalled or the dryer broke or you received a piece of very bad news earlier in the morning. Multiple misfortunes that take place, one after the other, can leave us feeling vulnerable and intensely cognizant of our fragility. Although bad days can only have a long-term negative effect on us if we let them. It is better to ask yourself what you can learn from these kinds of days. The state of your bad day may be an indicator that you need to stay in and hibernate or let go of your growing negativity.

Bad days contribute to the people we become. Though we may feel discouraged and distressed on our bad days, a bad day can teach us patience and perseverance. It is important to remember that your attitude drives your destiny and that one negative experience does not have to be the beginning of an ongoing stroke of bad luck. A bad day is memorable because it is one day among many good days. Otherwise, we would not even bother to acknowledge it as a bad day. Know, too, that everybody has bad days. You are not alone, the world is not against you. Tomorrow is a brand new day, greet it with love and watch it unfold into perhaps, a better day.

In Praise of Rumi, 1207–1273

Celebrating the 800th birth anniversary of Sufi poet Jalal-ud-Din Rumi, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recognizes 2007 as “The International Year of Rumi.”

Rumi created 70,000 verses of poetry within just 25 years—cherishing the divine sparks of human love, mystic passion and ecstatic illumination. His works show the path to God through relationship. Rumi’s legacy is freedom, self-knowledge, and self-expression. He wandered like a gypsy; slept under the stars. Since the world was his family, there was no place in his consciousness for want or lack.

Affirming heaven in all earthly creatures, Rumi’s sense of humility furthered his devotion as an overcomer. He did not allow fear to overtake his spirit and, through the whirling flow of ecstatic dance, Rumi further embodied peaceful reconciliation over distrust.

 You Worry Too Much

…You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less,
why do you worry?
You are in truth
the soul, of the soul, of the soul.
…Be silent, like a fish,
and go into that pleasant sea.
You are in deep waters now,
of life’s blazing fire.
Why do you worry?

(Excerpts: by Jalal-ud-Din Rumi)
