Is Someday Going To Be Your Best Day?

Here's a short post that's long on substance, "Is Someday Going To Be Your Best Day", by Barry at Single Dad Life. Some key points in summary:

  • If you're convinced that someday is going to be your best day, you won't put enough into today, or get enough out of it.
  • Live with an Attitude of Gratitude. If you remind yourself daily to appreciate what you have and be thankful, life can be abundant.
  • Giving without expecting anything in return. The ultimate and most meaningful gift.

What's particularly meaningful during the holiday season is the concept of giving without expecting anything in return. We've generally been marketed to and conditioned since childhood to expect something back. Would you feel funny if you gave and didn't get? Is the act of giving enough to fill your emotional gas tank? I say yes, I think you'll find your gas tank to be quite full if you do so. How are you giving?  Better still, how are you showing a kid the importance of giving?

Be sure to make today your best day, give and give again, and be thankful for the opportunity to do so.  That's not too hard to remember at all.  Have a safe and happy holiday season.
