Ideal day
It would be nice to live your ideal day, but that’s probably not the one you have right now. What you have is the day that’s here.
And although today may fall short of perfection, it’s a perfectly good opportunity to add value, meaning and substance to life. It’s a day you can fill with the best you have.
Merely wishing for a different set of circumstances won’t accomplish anything at this point. Instead, use your energy to step forward and work with this day as it is.
The way today ends has the potential to be a whole lot better than the way it began. Right now you’re in position to make that happen.
Reflect for a moment on how today would be if it were indeed your ideal day. Then choose one aspect of that vision and do what’s necessary to bring it to life.
Today is not ideal, and yet that’s precisely the point of living it. Because you have the chance, and the ability, to push this day in an ideal direction.
— Ralph Marston
