Today's
Quotation:
Whether
one is twenty, forty, or sixty; whether
one has succeeded, failed, or just muddled along;
whether
yesterday was full of sun or storm,
or one of those dull days with no weather at all,
life begins each morning!

Today's
Meditation:
My
life did begin anew this morning, after I finished my
sleep. Today is a completely new day, and it's mine to
do with as I please. What happens to me today will be
completely new and different, and I have the choice all day
long to react to similar things in different ways if the way
that I've been reacting doesn't serve me. Yesterday
is gone, and while some things that happened yesterday may
affect today, that doesn't mean that those things have to
control today's actions or reactions. If yesterday I
got angry at a certain something, I have the choice today to
react differently to something similar, or even to make up
for the anger if it was hurtful to someone. Years
ago, there was a very popular saying: "Today is
the first day of the rest of your life." How true
that is, yet how little we seem to take it to heart.
We can start all over today, and we can start to make
changes today, if we wish to. Too often we hold on to
the baggage that we packed yesterday, and we allow it to
keep us firmly planted in the same old way of doing things,
of seeing the world. Today's
a new day! It's calling for a new you, as every day
does. It's offering you a wide variety of things to
do, people to see, experiences to learn from, and wonders to
appreciate and be thankful for. The only question is
simple: Is this how you choose to see this new today
that you've been given? |
