Tomorrow is Another Day!

How was your day so far? Did you seize it, did you enjoy it...or was it not a good day at all? Although I intend to give you all momentum and a tonic so you can live your life to the fullest, so you can master every day, so you can be cluttered with ambition, heart, and perseverance, I devote and dedicate this discourse to people who had a rough day, a bad day, maybe a day perceived as the "worst day ever."

Sometimes we wake up, everything seems to be fine, and then all of a sudden: boom; things start going wrong, and before you can turn around the downward spiral has already begun. How frustrating, you start your day—ambitious from head to toe—but for some reason nothing is working out the way it is supposed to. No matter what you do, one concept, one term is overshadowing all your actions, all your deeds, all your ambitions: failure. In a particular situation like that we just want to give up on everything, we lose grip, and all of a sudden all our hard work seems in vain, our goals, our dreams seem out of our grasp, all of a sudden we feel like our entire world comes tumbling down, our dreams collapse...system overload, our life that day...withering.

On a day like that it is vastly hard, of tremendous difficulty, maybe even nearly impossible to keep one’s head up, to hold fast to the ambitious drive one had the days prior to this d-day. It may also be a poor consolation, cold comfort to merely classify this day as "just not my day." But there is something we should always keep in mind, even though it is hard to in a day like this: noone made it to the top without failure, failure is, so to speak, part of our lives, and further part of success. Name one happy and successful person who made it to the top without failure, who achieved formidable things, who has done incredible things without bad days on the road to success? There is none, failure needs to be part of our path, failure paves the way to success. Obstacles, bumps on the road, deferral, decay, destruction, desolation—they will always be there, they will always have to be overcome; and let me tell you one thing: successful is not the one to reach a high achievement, successful is the one to withstand all of hell, the one to fight against the odds, the one to not give up and as a result of this perseverance achieves his or her goal. If everyone could accomplish high objectives without failing on its way, everyone would be successful.

Charles Franklin Kettering, a great innovator back in the nineteenth century said wisely: "Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement";—failures are part of the accomplishment of objectives, so do not let a bad day filled straight to the top with failure drag you down that you decline everything, learn from it, be happy that it was only a day (or two), but do one thing after being struck down: get back up and continue what you came to do, because one bad day does not mean that your entire world is collapsing, it merely means that external (for some it may also be internal ones) forces are shaking it...and it furthermore is a challenge wether we have the heart and the tenacity to regardlessly execute, no questions asked...because that is what successful people among us have done, and that is the only feature to distinguish the failing from the successful...GETTING BACK UP!

...so if your day was whacky, frustrating, coined by failure, just "not your day," there is no need to despair, get back up and keep going, because it is on the dice: tomorrow is another day.
