Today I realized how unfocused my mind has been lately. I made several mistakes at my job today which was a record breaker... I put an early morning meeting on my supervisor's calendar that should have been scheduled for next Monday instead of this week, hence he went to the meeting room, only to find no one there. 
Secondly, I noted a dinner event in the evening, that he wasn't invited to.... for some reason, i thought the name of the event was something else, and I didn't even realize until he asked me about it. There was also a 3rd incident that occurred today but I can't even remember what that was....
I wanted to share this with you because although I thought today was a "bad day", there was a silver lining after all was said and done.
First of all, after I realized all the mistakes I made today, and I didn't get mad and curse about it.
Secondly, I kept a positive attitude, and apologized to my supervisor for making the errors and in turn, he was forgiving and took it well.
Thirdly and most importantly, because of Gnosis, I actually reflected on why I made those mistakes, and wondered what was really going on w/my mental state. I knew that I had not been focusing on my job responsibilities and that my mind has been wandering in other areas. The truth is I realized that I am looking forward to leaving this job, so I am not paying attention to detail.
I realized that my mind is in a state of Samsara, Maya.. and I need to learn how to deal with this. It is because of what I am learning in my Gnosis studies that I can at least see some of my issues... Now, I know I have a lot of work to do and that I am lazy and not as disciplined as I should be, but I pray that I will be able to come to a better understanding some day.
I am grateful for the teachings and I am inspired by them each day. Oh yea, and I took that thought back "bad day" and said to myself, it's just another day...
"may all beings be happy"

It is necessary to have a healthy sense of humor, especially regarding our mistakes. If we can't laugh at our idiocies, then we are truly in trouble! Laughter heals the soul, ignites our inspiration, and helps us to relax profoundly. Therefore:
Thank you for your testimony. May we find joy within every experience in life, and may that joy inspire us towards prayer to our Innermost and gratitude for His benevolence. May we also know how to laugh a little more, but from the joy of the spirit.
May all beings be happy!
The Gnostic who does not know how to smile has less control of himself, like the one who only knows the guffaw of Aristophanes. -Samael Aun Weor, Igneous Rose

Joyful in hope, suffering in tribulation, be thou constant in thy prayer.
