A GREAT DAY

       A GREAT DAY

I enjoy a great day!  I would imagine that most people enjoy having a great day. The best days I've ever had all have one thing in common. I was totally focused, completely absorbed in what I was doing. I wasn't stressing or worried about tomorrow, I wasn't regretting yesterday, I was in the present day. When we invest ourselves in today, completely, we create the environment and conditions for joy. 

“Look To This Day 

For it is Life, the very Life of Life. In Its brief course lie all the Verities and Realities of your existence; 

The Bliss of Growth;

The Glory of Action;

The Splendor of Beauty;

For Yesterday is but a Dream,

And tomorrow is only a Vision: 

But Today well lived makes every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, and Every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. Look well, therefore, to This Day!”

CAPTURE A MOMENT

CAPTURE A MOMENT

We each experience the world in a unique and very individual way. It isn't our surroundings or environment that determine how we feel or the dominant emotions in the moment. It is our dominant thoughts and personal perspective that ultimately determine our experience. We can choose our focus. There is a very basic law of the operation of the mind which states, that which you do send out shall return to you again. When we look for and expect disappointment, regardless of where we are, we will find it. When we look for and expect to see beauty, we will find it. Two people may see a toddler in the park. The toddler is covered in mud and dirt. One person may grimace in concerned at seeing an obviously neglected little child. Another person may see the child and smile in delight as they imagine all the fun the little person has been having. 

We are surrounded with choice moments every day. If we will learn, early at the beginning of this year, to look for beautiful, precious moments, in whatever surroundings we find ourselves, we will capture precious and memorable moments. Begin by seeking to capture a precious moment at some point every day.
