Day 263 – Today is Special

Today is special is an attitude not a statement. Do you really believe that today is special? I think we should. After all life is pretty precious. I know of many both dead and alive that wish they had not squandered some of those precious days. Well right now, this morning, this moment you can change that. You can make today special.

How is today special? Well, you can accomplish something today. You can START something even. Can you finish this sentence at the end of the day….”Today was the day that I……” Could that next word be, started? Or something else?

Today was the day that I started…

Today was the day that I finally…

Today was the day that I gave up…

Today was the day that I quit…

Today was the day that I overcame…

Today was the day that I found…

Today was the day that I resolved…

Today was the day that I received…

Today was the day that I committed…

You get the idea and now ponder this. What if you finished EVERYDAY with s sentence like that? Welcome to the 365 Commitment.
