So what's so 'special' about today?
I am sure you've heard many people saying:
live in the now!
Almost getting bored with it?
I am.
So, let's move the goal posts around a little.
Good question or not?
Well, here's a few reminders:
You only get one shot at today.
Today is Today & tomorrow, it is history.
Today is unique. You only get one chance.
Today brings you something
Today shows you something
Today teaches you something
Today is a full life in itself.

Your day is what you make it.
If you are fully into your day, all be it good, bad or just plain grey, you'll see it for what it is. If you are too busy with yesterday or tomorrow, you might miss something.
Worry, Stress, Envy or Greed?
All of these take us into a different world, the world of mind & chaos.
Most of us allow our minds to run our lives, but is what the mind tells you true?
Being focussed allows the mind to rest & for you to see what is true & what is an illusion.
So, how to turn something apparently ordinary into something special?
Simple, just stop & take a look at what's happening right now, in detail.
How we get lost.....
To really enjoy life, as said, you need to be focussed.
The mind is very good at distraction & chaos, silence (being still) is a far deeper experience. Yet few of us know how to do this, or have forgotten.
Media & distraction takes us away time & time again.
Pity, because as I already said, you miss something special, Today!
Live every day as though it is your first & your last. How? Put your life in order.
Here are some examples of how we get lost:
- Too many friends & acquaintances. Do you need so many?
- Hours networking on Facebook & Twitter. Necessary or nonsense?
- TV addict or surfing the net. Was that really worth such time?
- Rush Rush Rush. No time for anything. Not enough time?
- Stress, Stress & More Stress. Did you create this yourself?
- Being busy for the sake of being busy. Where am I in this?
Sounds familiar?
Have a Great Day!
A great day can start with a 'Good Morning World', 10 minutes of meditation & then breakfast.
B- R- E -A -T -H-E
Sounds ridiculous? Maybe you are missing something then.
Try for a week, you might discover something amazing.
Listen to the news if you have to, but remember: this is just noise.
It is there to make your mind busy. Essentials are important, peripherals are a nonsense.
Music alters your mood, silence or natural noises are what is happening.
Concentrate on what is. Be clear & give honesty a chance.
Eat & enjoy.
Work & enjoy.
Drive & enjoy.
Shop & enjoy.
Do no-thing & enjoy too.
As said; stay focussed. Listen very carefully to others & maybe they will hear you too.
An ordinary day is a special day because you make it that way.
And besides that, tomorrow it is history.
The bottom line:
Early to bed, early to rise gives today a new world.
Manage your time & focus wisely & enjoy. |
