Goal for the Day: Love Life

“I wish it was Friday.” Many people say that. Why do we wish our lives away? Sure, we all suffer through the drudgery of each day—bills, cleaning, work, chores. Sometimes we feel that there’s very little for us to enjoy. But, that simply isn’t true. Each of us has the power to decide if we’re enjoying something or not. It all depends on your attitude. So, today, relish each moment. Look forward to the good things ahead and be grateful for what you have in the present. Something as simple as the smiles of your children to the wag of your dog’s tail can be enough to remind you to love life. I’m reminded of a poem by Henry Can Dyke which was read at Princess Diana’s funeral.


Time is..
Too Slow for those who Wait
Too Swift for those who Fear
Too Long for those who Grieve
Too Short for those who Rejoice
But for those who Love
Time is not.
