A Beautiful Day

Just as i was pondering the complexities of life, I stumbled on this song by India Arie called Its a beautiful day. The lyrics capture my thoughts and i thought to share:

"Life is a journey, Not a destination, 
There are no mistakes, Just chances you’ve taken 
Lay down your regrets cause all you have is now 

Wake up in the morning, and get out of bed 
Start making a mental list in your head 
Of all of the things that you should be  grateful for 

Early in the morning It’s the dawn of a new day 
New hopes new dreams new ways 
open up your eyes, and open up my mind
and wonder how life will surprise you today 
open up your heart and decide to do your part and 
Make this a positively beautiful day 

Life is a challenge, not a competition 
You can still smell the roses and be on a mission 
Just take a moment to get in touch with your heart 

Sometimes you feel like you’ve got something to prove 
Remind yourself that there’s only one you 
Just take a moment to give thanks of who you are

 Let’s make this a wonderful, powerful, Beautiful Day 
because it truly is a Beautiful Day"

Lyrics have been modified by me

Everyday is a beautiful day, regardless of what the day presents to you. Your responses always determine the outcome of your life, not the circumstances that you face. 

Choose to live, choose to be grateful, choose to see the best even in the worst of situations.

Have a beautiful day
