3 reasons why today can be awesome!
Yep! You can be even more awesome than ever.
And, that will make your day (and other folk’s day) more awesome too!
Thank goodness that we can do this awesome bit day by day. It does feel more reasonable than trying for a longer stretch of time!
So why do we know that today is going to be awesome?
Number 1: This is really the only day that exists. Everything that has happened in our lives so far actually happened in the present, in the here and now. And likewise everything that will happen in the future will also happen in the present. Everything is now.
Right this second, something awesome is happening to someone in the world. Yes, I know we may well be wishing that we were outside in some sunshine. But when we think about it, at any point today we could create a memory that will stick with us the rest of our life. We have today and it is always our choice!
Number 2: We have complete control over our actions and/or reactions. And, whatever we see in our future, today is one step closer to that happening. Of course, we must put in the effort and use each day as our “blank canvas” to make this dream a reality, but that day will come. So, throw some paint on today!
Number 3: A lifetime can be shrunk down to tiny chunks. Any large dream or goal can be broken down into smaller manageable chunks that we can plan out and conquer before moving on to the next one. It’s doable and like “they” say:
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
So, my suggestion is to stop counting days down. Instead, count them up! Marvel at how many we have been blessed to spend on this planet. And never forget that each one could be our last. Ponder the kind of life we would like to look back on when we at last come to do so.
Let’s be awesome AND have lots and lots of awesome days!
What choices will you make today?

Pat, this is very refreshing to read. I have always tried to look at everything in my life as being awesome, it makes a substantial difference in battling the negatives I encounter throughout the day. Mark Klicker
Mark, so good to hear from you! You and I both know that it takes conscientious effort to battle those daily negatives! Keep up the good work!
This is a great post and goes along with my new mantra……surround yourself with faucets……….not drains! Works for both people and thoughts! Now to start counting up!
Tish, I love your “faucets and drains” comparison! Thanks for sharing it…and for sharing your friendship as well!
