Let today be “THAT” day. You always said to yourself that you wanted to be more grateful. Let today be that day. You told yourself that there would come a time when you would stop worrying because it really never has helped. Let today be that day. You said that you really wanted to stop responding with anger or worse yet, indifference. Let today be that day. You told yourself that there would come a day when you would be kind, supportive, congenial, and forgiving. Let today be that day.
Look around at every single one of your possessions right now. Look at what you are wearing right now. Everything you have was, for a moment, what you wanted. It was the thing or the article or the silly tchotchka that made you feel good, that made you smile. You even told yourself that you would feel so good in the future when you wore it or watched it or held it or drove it. Let today be that day.
Think of all of the people in your life. Think of the ones that mean the most to you. Remember when you said that someday you would tell them exactly how you feel? You always said that you could love more and that you would when all the other stuff didn’t take all your attention. Remember when you said you would do something to honor the ones that shaped your life but are not here any more? Let today be that day.
You said that one day you would start eating better, dressing better, being a better person, loving more, yelling less, meditating more, criticizing less, praying more. Remember when you told yourself that you would be so courageous that even if you blushed and stuttered, you would finally speak up? Remember when you said you would love yourself more? Let today be that day.
Every morning when you wake up, it’s “THAT” day. If you woke up this morning, guess what? It’s that day! Walk your talk. Live your heart. Go easy on yourself. Stand up tall. Breathe deep and smile, because you just remembered, it’s that day.
