Does Today Feel Like a Perfect Day?

The dawn of each new day and each new moment is flawless even when it seems flawed by our thinking and emotions.

When things are going well it's easier to say or think, "today is a perfect day", but when times are trying in your personal and/or professional life, it can be difficult to see beyond the present impasse or loss.

What once seemed like it couldn't be more ideal soon can be filled with sadness, doubt, worry, anxiety, and angst.

What happened to those wonderful, exciting, fun, passion filled days? Where did they go? They didn't go anywhere. They are hidden in the perfection of imperfections in occurrences. The problem lies not in the actual event happening, but in our thinking towards it.

We can become engulfed by our emotions or pretend they don't exist but they're there and can become triggered by situations or people. We can close ourselves off from the wondrous ways and the grander plan because we spend endless hours, days, weeks, or years wondering "why" things occurred or shouldn't have occurred, or trying to bypass them all together.

When you are going through tough times, I'm sure the last word you would use to describe it is "perfect", and the world doesn't seem to wondrous at that time either, does it? You may even begin to lose faith that things will ever get better or you may become stuck in the mindset of questioning why God would allow this to happen.

Wonderful? It may feel far from it, but something is about to change even though it may not feel ideal at the time or for some time, but rest assure it's opening up new beginnings for you.

When challenging people or situations occur and you feel you are spiraling down into the abyss of emotions, or running for the hills to escape them, remember these imperfect times are really perfect for your growth and expansion. View stressful situations as just the right thing you need to move forward.

We can't always change things that occur in our lives, but we can change the way we move through them.

Paramahansa Yogananda said, "You should look at life unmasked, in the mirror of your experiences... Look at the perpetual current of emotions and thoughts that arise within you...Seek understanding with your highest intelligence, wisdom, love and vision."

The next time you are having a day, week, month, or year that seems less than ideal remember it's perfect just the way it is because it's opening new beginnings, possibilities, mindsets, opportunities, and ways of being even if you don't see the bigger picture at the time.

All things happen at the perfect time for the perfect orchestrated plan.
