Learning from a False No

I try to say yes to whatever I live. Without that first appreciation, my no can only mean repression.
John Dorsey

Yes. Yesterday was my best day ever. I realized that I had a notion of what a good day is or should be. I failed to see that whatever that day is, is good. I had a notion of what a good day should be and I was saying No to the day that was and I got upset. I was saying No to what is. I thought I “knew” what should be. When it wasn’t what I thought was good, I began to say No. I began to resist. I got upset with what is. I didn’t realize I could say Yes. I gave my opinion power over the facts. I thought there was something to resist, to say No to. So, yesterday was my best day ever. It was a day of realization of the Infinite Good which I didn’t see. So I re-vision it. It was a perfectly imperfect day. Now as I re-visit it, I say Yes to the way it was, including the upset. The upset was an inevitable result of the No I was entertaining. I became a victim of that No. Now I can say Yes even to that No foolishness, and to the “victim” consequences of that “No”. My judgment was that the Infinite Good was not present, and so I got upset. That upset was perfect for my learning the truth about the falsehood of No and the Truth of Yes. Today I am more aware of the truth of Yes.
