Today Will Be A Good Day

Nothing in this world lasts forever. Not the good, not the bad. That's just life.

Today can be a good day if you let it. I know the world ain't perfect. I know it's not fair. I know that problems can pile up on you like you're bein' buried alive. The world is a scary place and things can go bad at any time. But things can get better for you at any time too.

There's no fight you can't overcome with a lil perseverence and the right plan. I used to box. I learned how to fight and how to think. You gotta prepare yourself for a fight. You have to protect yourself from any hurt that might come your way. You have to train to have the right tools to fight. You need a strategy to win a challenging fight. Most importantly you gotta have the fire inside of you it takes to win a fight. That fire comes from a controlled combination of fear, anger, and the desire to change your situation.

All these things I've learned about fightin' have helped me in my life. You have issues you gotta have a plan to deal with them. Are you gonna save money to get outta debt? Are you gonna work out to stay fit? Are you gonna spend more time studyin' to get better grades? You gotta protect yourself from what can go wrong. Always have a back up plan, 'cause things will always go wrong. Nuthin' ever works out perfectly. And if you gotta goal in mind you need to stay focused to get to that goal. Don't let all the things that go wrong, or a little bit of progress stop you from gettin' exactly what you want. A lot of people give up halfway through 'cause things get too tough. You ever hear 'bout the guy that was swimmin' across the lake? He gets half way across when he got tired so he swam back. Doesn't make sense to start sumthin' and not finish it when you've gotten so far.

Today will be a good day, if you let it. You're awake and you're alive. That's all you need to make you're situation better. Let the warmth of the sun in your soul. Breathe in the strength of the universe. Everything is always in flux. What's bad now will get better. Know that things are gonna be tough. Know that you got what it takes to make things better. You ain't a moron, you can learn how to do what you need to do. You can ask for help without bein' weak. You can do more than you think. Push yourself. Get off your ass and get what you deserve. If you want it and you're tryin' your best to get it then you deserve it. Even if life isn't fair enough to let you have it's better to try and fail than to say you never even made the effort. Never ever give up.

The problems in your life are never permanent. This life is always changin'. You can't hold on to goodness or badness forever. That's what gives the universe it's balance. As long as you're alive there's a fight to be had. Never surrender to it. There's nuthin' better than takin' a couple of bad hits and givin' a few good ones right back, knowin the fight is a long way from over but at least you're a contender.

Go out and get your good day. You deserve it.



I love those Rocky movies 'cause you watch 'em and you feel like you can take on the world. This is from "Rocky Balboa". It's a lil clip I love. I think Rocky says it best.
