Every day is a gift

Isn’t it strange that with every new day that arrives, new batch of joy comes with it? When we wake up in the morning, yesterday is just memory, and today is a fresh start. And a chance to begin again.

Life is a gift, and we should treat every day as if it is a gift because it is. Just think – many on earth did not see the light of day today. People have passed on and passed away – as we all will. But - if you are reading this - you have a chance at this day to make the most of it. And treat it as something special given to you. Consider yourself blessed.

On this day – what will you do? What will you do to make the world better? How will you show your gratitude for such a gift as today?

The greatest gift we have is our present moment. And it’s the only moment we possess to create our destiny. Many of us may be living what we see as “ordinary” lives. We go through the daily rituals of life. We wake up, shower, eat breakfast, go to work, come home, sleep. And then the next day, we do it all over again. So, it doesn’t feel like anything special. But it does not have to be this way. Just because it does not “feel” special doesn't mean it isn't. Maybe we should be a little more grateful that we are able to do some of the things I just stated. Like eat and have a job to go to. Many don't even have that.

But even more so, we have opportunities to make the most of this day. Our future is determined by how we choose to live in THIS moment. Let’s not waste it.

Instead of seeing life as one big mundane chore, let's be grateful we were able to wake up today and live. Let’s see it as a gift not everyone received.

Today, choose to receive the new batch of joy that is there with gratitude.

Think about it. Talk about it:

“Today, I am grateful that joy comes in the morning. And I will treat this day as if it is a gift from above.”
