Learn a new way to tackle the paper piles once and for all in this 30 day course led by Brook Noel.

I have a confession. As organized and maintained as my home is... there is a "secret floor." This floor is the basement, more commonly know by my husband as the "Large Art Store that Exploded and Landed in Our Basement." In an unusual turn of events--he is right.
I will be joining you on this journey, not only through the message board, but through my own organization. I used the methods on only half of my space (there are about 5 rooms down there!) and left the rest to work through with you step-by-step so we can truly "share the journey."

"Every time you wake up and ask yourself, "What good things am I going to do today?" remember that when the sun goes down at sunset, it will take a part of your life with it." Indian Proverb

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 was especially moved by this quote given some of the conversations I have had over this past week. I'm not sure if it was a full moon or what, but many people I came into contact with were having "bad" or "off" days.

In four separate conversations, with four separate people, I heard this statement "I just want today to be over!" Interestingly, each of the four people said 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.

Challenge Life!
