Good morning! Good
morning reader Becky sent in this Indian proverb that reminds us that
each day gives us an opportunity to influence the world -- and either
leave a gift -- or not.
I
frequently hear this statement "I just want today to be over!"
Interestingly, each many say this before noon! After 4-6 waking hours,
these people were done with the day - it was "kaput" they wanted the
next one.
I
started to think about athletes and the consequence of this type
of thinking if you were an athlete. Pretend you were running a 10 mile
race. The first mile you were just "off your time." Can you imagine an
athlete just walking away saying, "I'll just wait for the next race."
Could you see an Olympian doing that? Of course not. Why? 1. They have
worked too hard to get where they are. 2. They believe in themselves,
and their ability to recover and do their best.
Like
Olympians, we have all worked very hard to get where we are in
life--no matter where that place is. We have lived day after day after
day--to get to here--today--this moment. If our lives are to have all
the impact they can, we would do well to adapt more Olympian thinking.
Let us not walk away from a day because of a bad start. Let us
challenge ourselves to get back on track and do our best.
Your
Turn: Eliminate this phrase from your vocabulary... "I can't
wait for today to be over." Instead ask yourself, "What can I still do
to make today count?" Become a gold-medalist in life by embracing and
maximizing each day.
Your
affirmation: Regardless of what happens, I continue to
maximize and give each day my all. | |||||||
