Let us stop complaining. Let us stop wasting our time being idealists. Let us realize that this day was granted to us as part of the marvel of life and that living a day in the life we have is an honor. Let us remember that any other gift, we should be grateful for it. It’s all we have, so let’s take each morning as an opportunity to be genuinely thankful for our day – there’s endless reasons to do so.

Today, when I awoke, I suddenly realized that this is
the best day of my life, ever!
There were times when I wondered if I would make it to today; but I did!
And because I did I’m going to celebrate!

Today, I’m going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I have had so far: The accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because
they have served to make me stronger.

 

I will go through this day with my head held high, and a happy heart.
I will marvel at God’s seemingly simple gifts: The morning dew, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds.

Today, none of these miraculous creations
will escape my notice.

Today, I will share my excitement for life
with other people.
I’ll make someone smile.
I’ll go out of my way to perform an unexpected act of kindness for someone I don’t even know.
