It’s OK to accept good things

Posted on by philipdodson

Often, when work is going well or we have some good news, or we’re having a fab time with friends, family and life is feeling great, we then think ‘this won’t last’ or ‘too good to be true’ or ‘something bad is sure to happen’ and so on.

It’s at this moment that we could choose to just accept that everything is going well and it is OK to enjoy that, there is no need to fear or to feel guilty or play it down.

Accept what is, enjoy the moment and just be. Why choose to spoil it and inflict mental pain upon ourselves? Why choose bad?

Sometimes in life, it rains

It is not possible to only have sunny days, sometimes in life, it rains. Sometimes it is torrential and goes on for hours or even days.

Life is like the weather, there are good and bad days.

We need both the sun and the rain in life, without them, there would be no life. The darker moments and rainy days in our lives serve a purpose too.

They help us appreciate the good things in life more, they help us learn and how we deal with them is a choice.

We can choose to allow the rainy days to bring us down, we can choose to ignore the fact that the sun always returns and we can choose to allow them to influence how we see ourselves and the situation.

Naturally, we can choose the opposite, so we decide what to make to them no one else.

Whatever it is in life, it is never as bad as we programme ourselves to think and it passes.

Cherish the sunny days and let go of the rainy ones.
