Each day is full of opportunities to do great and unique things. To pursue a goal, seek your purpose in life, or spend time with those who matter to you. All of these things are great ways to fill the hours of your life. If you do them every day, there are a few more things that will enhance your life and provide you with a better experience. I have a list of five things that might have the ability to improve your day. Give it a try.
Count Your Positives
Life is full of challenges that will push you to learn something new, try something new, or become a better person. To help us along life’s path, there is a steady stream of positive things always there for the noticing. Take a moment every day to take an inventory of these things. Once you focus on what you do have rather than what you perceive to be going wrong, your attitude will pick up.
It is impossible to be in a bad mood when you appreciate the positive things and people in your life. Count them out and focus on them, and they will give you strength and a positive attitude to get you through the day. Give thanks and appreciation for what you do have. It opens the door for more great things and people to come into your life. The people you love, the things that bring enjoyment, the things that bring comfort, resources you do have, a job that provides revenue, good coffee in the morning, time to think, someone to listen to your thoughts. All can be counted and appreciated.
Know You Are Unique
In all of the history of the world, there was never anyone exactly like you. In that rare existence is a power that allows you the opportunity to create or do something nobody else has ever done. Most people hide the unique things about themselves and mistakenly see them as flaws holding them back. Perhaps others have demeaned you when their originality is a ticket to success, but why should their opinion matter? They are dealing with their things. You are a unique, one-of-a-kind person with unlimited potential to be the greatest you possible.
Whatever you believe about the spiritual realm, you have to understand that the fact that you are here and look like you do is a miracle, and it can’t all just be by coincidence. You are a kind creation, and you should embrace it and share it with the world. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you are just an ordinary person because that isn’t true, never has been, and never will be. Use your power of uniqueness.
Use Your Power of Choice
In all things, we have a choice. There will be things that occur we didn’t choose to have happened to us or experience. Accidents occur, and that is the way it goes. But we have ultimate control over the attitude we decide to have about these things. You have a lot of power in your choices, even when you don’t think you have anything. You can think, love, will, laugh, imagine, create, plan, speak, and meditate, all without a penny to your name, and those things can bring you power and joy.
You can choose to create or destroy, persevere or quit, praise or gossip, heal or wound, give or steal, act or procrastinate, grow or shrink. All of these are in your power on most days. Look at the great things you can do with the power of choice and apply that to your life. Never feel that you are helpless because you are not. You are only as weak as you choose to be.
Do All Things with Love…….Love for yourself, respect for all others, and Love for Life. Trying to incorporate these things into your life will allow you to have a great day today!!
