There Are No Ordinary Days

No one day is like another, each tomorrow has its special miracle, its magic moment in which old universes are destroyed and new starts created. Paulo Coelho.

Living at the speed we do today, it’s all too easy to miss the magic moments in life.

The pace is frenetic, the stress and strain unrelenting. As you navigate life’s twists and turns, life can easily catch up to you if you are not careful. We’re so focused on the big stuff that we can often overlook the seemingly little things and significant moments that can make such a difference to our lives and those around us who really matter.

We’re all so busy just trying to keep up, “staying alive”, as the expression goes. The days turn into weeks, weeks into months and before you know it, in what seems the blink of an eye, years have slipped away.

Sound familiar?

So, how can you reduce the stress in your life and make time to take the “ordinary” out of your day and make it more meaningful?

For starters, here are five suggestions:

1. Practice gratitude. Notice and give thanks for what you have rather than bemoan what you haven’t.

2. Share joy, not negativity.

3. Consume wisely. Pause before buying. Ask yourself; do I need this or simply want it?

4. Pay attention to the effects of the media you consume. Practice discretion.

5. Choose your friends with care. If you strive to be spiritually strong, supportive and positive, seek those characteristics in others and help them develop those traits by living them yourself.

HINT: If you are a slave to your todo list, resolve today, right now to get a handle on it and take back your life. Make a mental note to yourself  or better still, write a post-it note and stick it on the fridge door.

In big, bold black letters write, THERE ARE NO ORDINARY DAYS.

Life is so precious and time is too short to fritter away even one day.

Each time you start another new list or add a task to your current one, pause and ask yourself, “Is this moving me towards or away from the life I want to be living?”

Hmm…
