“Every day could be your last”

Too often I take life for Granted, assuming I’ll be here, fit and well, tomorrow and the next day and the next.

As the future is uncertain and the past is unchangeable, all we have is this moment right now.

Changing Perspective….

When I’m aware I’m taking life for granted I recall something I heard from Les Brown;

“If I told you, you had 3 months left to live what would you do? The scary thing is, you may have less than 3 months. “

This helps me appreciate the current moment, no matter if it’s good or bad. The trees look greener, the air smells fresher, life appears fuller.

 
Practice Gratitude Daily

This is where practising gratitude daily can be really helpful.

Finding something in the morning for which you appreciate and are thankful for is the fastest way to turn a negative into a positive.

If you wake up feeling like today is not your day, or you want to enjoy what you have, find something you a Grateful for. No matter how big or small, it’ll brighten your day.

It could be your health, or you have no money worries or that you’ll be having your favourite meal for tea. What matters is your grateful and appreciate it.

Summary

Having a not so great day can sometimes fell like a bad day when in fact all that happened was a bad hair day – Small Stuff. Be grateful you only have small things to get you down rather than any huge challenges that will be gone by tomorrow.

If you’re faced with a problem that’s ruining your day ask yourself, will this be an issue in a week, month or a years time! If the answer is no, relax you’re sweating the small stuff. Everything happens for a reason and I’m sure you’ll handle it.
