She had a picture framed on the table that said make today amazing.
Place there to remind her just how much of life is a choice.
How much we get to decide.
It symbolizes that on our worst days life hands us lessons
and on our best days, the highs of existence.
During our low points, currency, and during our high points, the chance to cash it all in.
Yeah, make today amazing.
Because todays are few and far between.
Todays are not an inconvenience nor an obligation.
Today's are what it's all about.
Today is the big show.
the answers we look for, the destinations we long for.
Today is a place of dreams, that is, if you choose to leave room in your world for dreaming.
Today is the beginning of wherever next is for you.
A chance to see the new and normalize it.
To stretch, to reach further out and pull.
impossible a little closer into your orbit? You can do that. And while one often can't control what they
are given, they can control what becomes of what they are given. Like architects and designers
engineering what will be in what the malleable world around them will become, when one raises
their standards, life seems to accommodate. Because believing it means acting the part,
means making the changes, means the external world makes room, means your identity is reinforced,
and so the cycle goes, by making today amazing, you are making yourself more. Decisions
are the beginning of all things. See, very rarely is the twilight. See, very rarely is the
cool in and of itself the differentiator.
It's the vision that pulls us through.
And if you take something arbitrary, say a hammer,
there's no way to, based upon its existence,
determine what it will mean or what will become of it.
A hammer can be an agent of chaos.
It can smash and shatter and destroy.
It can be the thing used to tear down.
or it can be what built.
It can connect.
It can alter and redefine
so that something, when all is said and done,
is brought into an existence that never was.
It was never the tool.
It was how the eyes viewed the tool.
It was the vision that designated the roles
that made today amazing.
And the reason we all need this reminder, as far as I can tell, is because the difficult things just so happen to be the meaningful things.
Because we are fighting, not against some little rule or idea we picked up along the way.
We are fighting against our DNA, against thousands and thousands of years of evolution.
because the fear that kept our ancestors alert and alive now in a totally new world keeps us contained
and our talents minimized.
The approval of others that kept us safe and secure as we once traveled the landscape in small groups,
hunting and gathering, well now it keeps us needlessly looking over our shoulders and craving acceptance.
The unknowns that kept us out of the dead.
dark cave with the predator living in its shadows now keeps us confined.
Looking out at life's potential through self-made windows.
We need to be reminded to make today amazing because those things are quite the adversaries.
Because our default is to just let the ship sail.
Our default is to simply survive.
After all, that is the standard and the rule by which living things abide.
Make it another day.
But I believe you are more than a living thing.
The Godlike ability to not just exist in a world, but create new ones is a miracle.
Both a blessing and a responsibility.
To drive towards a more fulfilled you, a happier you, a healthier you, a more complete you.
but one must first become aware that around them exist the pieces required to build something never before a scene.
The vehicle to those far-off places that were once only dreams, thought, illusions,
I've always believed that if it means something to you, it's not stupid, it warrants exploration.
for even if the thought doesn't end up being all it was cracked up to be,
even if it's not the destination,
but only a stop along the way,
it still pushes you to the next thing and the next thing and the next thing.
It still moves you forward in this beautiful game of life.
So decide.
Decide to make today amazing.
choose to make it better let the obstacles lift you up and the momentum carry you towards something meaningful
when others stop and find reasons to doubt themselves how about you find this small wind buried
tucked away underneath it all the little key that may do nothing more than get you through
that next door after all sometimes that's what life's about picking up
your head when it's most difficult and finding the next door to walk through.
And the magic is knowing you can always do that, because there always exists both the
doorway and the key, but we must be willing to find it. That's the obvious thing about those
doors. The right ones will open, but they require we find the strength to approach them.
They require that we seek out amazing. And so with this in mind,
What is the next chapter like for you?
Are you currently enduring one of life's winters?
Are you navigating those inevitable valleys of despair
in which the value is in finding that single ray of light amidst the storm?
Looking within yourself for the courage to take one more step forward
and another and another, are you seeking out that spark that will reignite the fire in you?
you because it's there so long as you choose to make today amazing.
Maybe you've climbed yourself out. Maybe you're looking for whatever is next, the new evolution,
seeking to follow your heart and continue the beautiful progression that is light. Let the external world support that vision.
Choose to see the detail not as trivial but as the answer.
The tools that will lift you up and support what you are building, it's there.
She had a picture framed on the table that said make today amazing.
Place there to remind her how much of life is a choice.
Because in a world of option, what a gift to choose the journey of a lifetime.
What a ride that awaits
So long as you decide to step in
