This is your day.

So when you got up today did you think about what your day would be like? When you got up this morning were you over joyed that you had another opportunity to really rock this place?  When you got up this morning did you consider yourself one of the luckiest people in the world? If not, why not?

Today has the potential to be the best day of your life, but only you can make it so.  If you are prone to worry, prone to fear, or otherwise preoccupied with everything that can go wrong, well then, you should expect that.  On the other hand, if you can see yourself as the arbitrator of your own life,well then, let the party begin.

There is a saying, "If you can think it, you can dream it. If you can dream it, you can have it."  The results of this is going to be based on just what types of things you think or dream about.  There are so many people out there who are focused solely on all the things that can go wrong.  They have been conditioned to believe that they are destined to walk a life full of calamity.  Is it any wonder why things continue to go wrong in their life?  Now flip the coin, and instead of focusing on what you don't have or what might be lacking in your life, what has taken place or hasn't taken place, be thankful for you.  Really, just be thankful for who you are, that you are here right now, and that what has happened in the past needed to happen.  When you can find the happiness in all things, then all things begin to be seen as perfection.

Let today be your day, a day to accept the perfection of your design.  The day to say to the rest of the world that you are you, and that you love who and what you are.  Let today be the day that you accept your destiny, embrace everything that you are, and to hell with the naysayers.  I'm telling you, there is freedom in accepting who you are.  There is freedom in embracing your dreams.  There is freedom in just being present in the moment.  Far too  many people are focused on the past, or worrying about the future, and because of this are unable to embrace the present.  Live in the moment and realize that the moment is for you, about you, and because of you.

I have spent countless hours in my life worried about what I was going to do in the future.  This worry did nothing but stop me from doing anything.  Every moment that is filled with worry or concern is a moment that you will never get back.  Don't invest in worry, don't fill your mind with fear or dread.  Think on only good things, things that bring you joy and happiness.  Those who are unable to do this are the ones who will only see failure in their life.  I'm telling you that today is your day! What better way to begin your day then to simply smile, release any expectations you might have, and simply be.  There is such freedom in knowing that all things are working right now to get you to the place you are supposed to be at.  Certainly there may be things that happen that are not exactly how you planned them, but that's OK.  I have learned from things in my life, from situations that I hope I never experience again.  Learning is why we go through certain things, and if one is wise they will never discount the learning opportunities in life.

So what are you going to do with today?  It's entirely up to you how you are going to proceed.  This can be the best day of your life, or it can be something less than desirable.  Which one are you going to choose?  If it were me I would embrace the day, be thankful for all that I have, and know that goodness begets goodness, kindness begets kindness, and love and happiness follow those who display love and happiness.

Let your motivation today be based on love.  Love for family and friends, love for who and what you are, love for dreams and visions, and love for the rest of humanity.  This world is facing serious issues, issues we would love to be eradicated from the planet, but that is never going to happen until each of us embrace love, walk in love, and realize that love is the center of everything we are doing in this life.  If you want to make this the best day of your life, and if you want tomorrow to be even better, then begin by embracing love, showing love, living love, and as corny as it may sound, be the love that others need, want, and often find themselves without.

This is your day, and this is my day, and right now I know that today is going to be a great day.  When one is able to believe that goodness, success, love, and happiness are there for them, then they can begin to live each day, and in living each day, accept the benefits of being free to be who they are.  It's time to live like you've never lived before, and in doing so, realize the beauty of life, the beauty of you, and the beauty that you will shed on the rest of the world.
