Worst Day Ever?

Hi all, I read a poem recently and I quite liked it and wanted to share it all with you. So here it is.

Worst Day Ever? by Chanie Gorkin

Today was the absolute worst day ever
And don’t try to convince me that
There’s something good in every day
Because, when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction and happiness don’t last.
And it’s not true that
It’s all in the mind and heart
Because
True happiness can be attained
Only if one’s surroundings are good
It’s not true that good exists
I’m sure you can agree that
The reality
Creates
My attitude
It’s all beyond my control
And you’ll never in a million years hear me say
Today was a very good day

Now read it from bottom to top, the other way, and see what I really feel about my day :)

Bottom to top

Today was a good day.
And you’ll never in a million years hear me say
It’s all beyond my control
My attitude
Creates
The reality
I’m sure you can agree that
It’s not true that good exists
Only if one’s surroundings are good
True happiness can be attained
Because
It’s all in the mind and heart
And it’s not true that
Satisfaction and happiness don’t last.
Some goodness does shine through once in a while.
Even if
This world is a pretty evil place.
Because, when you take a closer look,
There’s something good in every day
And don’t try to convince me that
Today was the absolute worst day ever.

Thank you to Chanie Gorkin for writing this poem, it is a great reminder that so much of happiness is about how we react to the things we can’t control, the poem also makes you look at things at another point of view.

Perspective is everything!
