Good Morning Sunshine! Today is January 3, 2018. How are you doing with all those goals you set for yourself? Did you miss the gym already and say, “Never mind”? Did you eat something you said you weren’t going to have? Did you not get up and read or write like you said you would? Guess what! It’s ok! Today will be that day that you do that thing you said you would. I don’t understand why we continue to beat ourselves up when we are given a new opportunity every moment of the day. Right here, right now, you can decide that things are going to be different. You will pack your gym clothes so you can go right after work. You will pack your lunch so you can eat healthy, and save money, bonus! You will bring that book and read during your break. Today is the day you stand up for yourself and no longer allow others to make you feel less than, because you are amazing. You don’t need a date or time to make a change. You just say “Right here, right now, things are going to be different.” Just like that, they can be. Don’t listen to those who tell you that you aren’t going to change. Those who would say, “That’s just who you are.” No one knows you like you. I believe in you.
In August, 2017 I had just gotten out of the hospital for some health issues and decided it was time for a change. I said, “Today is the day!” I did not wait until January to start going to the gym, or eating healthier. I drew that line and made that choice. I found the good out of that bad situation. We can decide to Find The Good In Our Lives today!
I once read this story about a guy who was down to his last $6 dollars who had applied for a job as a stock boy. They offered him the job and told him they would email him the rest of the application. He let them know he did not have an email. They then informed him he was not eligible for the job. With the last six dollars he had, he went and bought some produce and turned around and sold it. He ended up doubling his money! Every day he did this, eventually becoming able to get a produce stand. This produce stand turned into a small store and eventually into a larger store. One day he called his insurance company looking for life insurance. They told him they would email over the information. He let them know he did not have an email. They said to him, “Do you know how much bigger you could be with an email? Do you know what you could be?” He laughed and said, “Yes, a stock boy.”
