As The Day Begins

15 Jan

A few thoughts to keep in the back of your mind today:

That last breath you drew, and the next one in line, is not the product of your ingenuity; you didn’t make it. It is a gift, and what do you say when you receive a gift?

Today you will have an opportunity to be curious. Don’t miss the chance to ask a question that might not have an answer. Wonder.

Insight is often stumbled upon. It surprises us more often than fulfilling our expectations. Watch for “a ha!” moments today.

If you believe you’re good enough, you can be. If you believe you’re not, you won’t be.

Finish what you start. Stick to it. Press on to a conclusion. You will feel better about yourself at the end of the day.

Today someone will be kind to you, annoy you, disappoint you, comfort you, perhaps even betray you. In all circumstances, practice the WWJD rule: What would Jesus do?

Have a goal for today. Smile at least three times. Say “hello” when you pass someone. Help at least one person. Give something to someone who needs it. Make up your own goal.

Follow the advice of St. Paul who encourages us to “pray constantly.” Let your life be your prayer. Today is your blank canvas; paint a beautiful picture.
