Why today can be awesome!
Thank goodness we can do this ‘awesome thing’ a bit day by day. It seems more possible than trying for a longer stretch of time!
Yep, today we can be even more awesome that ever. And that will make our day (and other folks’ day) more awesome too!
So why do we know that today can be/will be awesome? Because…
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.
Yes, I know we may well be wishing that we were outside in some sunshine and warmth. 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 for us to stop counting the days down. Instead, we can count them up! Let’s marvel at how many we have been blessed with to spend on this planet. And…never forget that each one could be our last. Let’s ponder the kind of life we would like to look back on when we at last come to doing so.
Let’s be awesome AND have lots and lots of awesome days!
