Today is such a special word and gift. Today, we were able to wake and begin anew. Today is full of possibilities, twist, turns, and the mundane tasks we would miss if they were gone. Today provides us all an opportunity to treasure the present and find the positives of each encounter. You cannot change the past, you hope for the future, but TODAY is yours!
In honor of TODAY, I’d like to share what it means to me and I welcome you to EVOLVE and live your best life. T – Triumph. As you manage the barrage of duties in your day, waking, getting the kids read, going to work, fixing problems, carting kids around, homework time, cooking… etc.!, it’s easy to feel defeated. Yes, you are tired; it’s a mind-set…Conquer the day! Did you beat the day or did the day beat you? If you won…fantastic! If you lost, then gear up, learn, and progress tomorrow.
O- Obligations. We all have them: jobs, kids, responsibilities, household chores, and more. Since you have them and most of our obligations are considered luxuries to the rest of the world; let’s get them done with a positive mind-set or begin to minimize our lives to fit a more EVOLVED lifestyle. Sometimes it helps to remember that cleaning your house with three bathrooms, cutting your yard, and washing your car are luxuries to the rest of the world and to people in our own country; so why complain.
D- Diligence. Live your day with concerted effort in all roles you play. Live with intent to actively love your partner, parent diligently and focus on the bigger picture, complete the task at work as if the boss is watching, and diligently make time in your life and busy schedule to enjoy downtime with good people in good places.
A – Admire. Be a fan of life and art! Sunrises to sunsets, great conversation with people throughout the day, a favorite show on TV, books, videos, music, and more! Admire today and all that it offers. What joy can you bring to someone else today?
Y – Yearn to be better. Every night recap your day… What did you do great, good, and where could you have done better as an individual, husband/wife, parent, sibling, worker, student, etc. There are many times you will fall short, but as long as you have another day ahead you can do better and EVOLVE! What will you do to treasure today and make it great? Share your thoughts with me at the You Evolving Now Convention on 11/15/16! Come meet me, the Convention team, and EVOLVE personally, relationally, financially, and your overall health! Enjoy great food, networking, experience a life change, and begin to live your best life in all aspects and roles you play! Get your tickets today at https://goo.gl/90m5M4
