Every day we have a choice to make.....
(1) either make it the best day ever
(2) just get by and get home to fall into the sofa
(3) enjoy every moment with our loved ones and make steady progress towards our worthy ideal
It is alot better when we plan and make the life we choose and want rather than waking and saying what have you got for me today life.
There is a story that shows perflectly why we must make every day great rather than wait for the better day in the future.
A man opened the bottom drawer of his sister's draw and lifted out a tissue-wrapped package.
"This," he said, "is not a slip. This is lingerie."
He discarded the tissue and looked at the slip. It was exquisite: silk, handmade and trimmed with a cobweb of lace. The price tag with an astronomical figure on it was still attached.
"Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least eight or nine years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this is the occasion."
He took the slip and put it on the bed with the other clothes he was taking to the mortician. His hands lingered on the soft material for a moment. Then he slammed the drawer shut and uttered.
"Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion."
Every morning when I open my eyes I tell myself that this is a special occasion.
Have a great day
