Everyone has those days, the days where it seems like a dark cloud is following you around and the sun is nowhere in sight. There is no visible light at the end of the tunnel.

Days like these seem to be the longest, all you can think about is how badly you just want the day to end and for something good and exciting to happen.

Instead of waiting for something good to come out of your day, make something good come out of your day. There's a saying, "Good things come to those who wait." An alternative to waiting is getting up, and doing something about making a good thing happen. If you go out there and make it your mission to make your day or week. or month better, it will get better.

The next time you're having one of those endlessly bad days, do something that makes you feel good. You can't control the endless amounts of work you have to do or the negative attitudes of other people, but what you can control is your own attitude and how you let these things affect you.

Eat some chocolate, go for a run, read some inspirational quotes, speak to someone who will make you laugh, make someone else laugh. All of these little things can truly make the biggest difference in your day; they could add the little ray of sunshine your daily needs.

Yes, bad things can happen in a day, but that doesn't mean you had a bad day.
