Having a Nice Day is Bullshit

I happened to catch a movie recently with Shirley MacLaine. In it her character, Harriet Lauler, sets out to have her obituary written while she's still alive. The film follows along as she and her writer make an attempt to "rewrite" her story--as their are many people in Harriet's life that haven't had the most positive experiences with her.

There is a point in the movie where she decides to become a disc jockey and on-air says, "This is Harriet Lauler saying 'Please don't have a nice day.'"

And that got me thinking...

“Have a nice day.”

…that’s bullshit. What does that even mean!? Will you have one of those days today that years from now you or someone will even remember or even give a shit!?

Have a day that matters, a day that’s true and a day that’s honest. Maybe your day will be full of risk and have some real discomfort. 

Go tell someone the truth instead of the status-quo. 

Quit your job.

Maybe. Don’t give in or give up ’til it’s done no matter how hard it seems or how long it takes.

Yeah. Today. Have an honest day. If you just try to “have a nice day” you will probably be miserable.

  • I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
