Every Day Is A Special Gift
Every day is a special gift. Whether it is sunny or cloudy or raining, hot or cold, each day is an opportunity. Think of what a miracle it is just for you to be alive. Think of the power and freedom you have.
Today is Saturday, a “day off” for many people who work regular hours. A chance to “unwind” from the “stresses” of life. How will you spend your “day off”? Will you spend it watching TV or playing video games, or sleeping late, or shopping for a lot of useless stuff that you really don’t need? Will you settle for just being comfortable today?
Or will you take this opportunity to get something accomplished? You have a whole day. A day that belongs to you. A day in which you can move yourself closer toward your goals. Think for a moment about where you want to be in a year, in five years, in ten years. And think of what a great opportunity you have today to make great progress in that direction.
Success in life is made up of actions. You can have the greatest goals, the best education, the highest skills, the most extraordinary intelligence, but, unless you take action these will do you no good. Action will translate your goals into reality. Action is the only thing that will move you closer to the things in life that you truly want.
Is it uncomfortable to take action? Of course it is. But in order to accomplish anything, you must step outside your comfort zone. You must challenge yourself to greatness. It is one of the most loving things you can do for yourself or anyone else. Get out from in front of the TV and get something done. Then, later tonight, when you’re ready to call it a day, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that you took control of your life, of your destiny.
Each day is a special gift. We get far too few of them. Remember to treat each one as the precious time that it is.
until next time… be black belt strong and have an amazing day.
