Day 1 Thought

After having gone over the Day 1 "I'm Having A Great Day" a memory came to mind of something that hit me a while ago but was now back on the forefront of thought.

Why are so many people miserable in life? Why do they mope around day after day and never really accomplish anything? Why is what Benjamin Franklin said that "Some people die at 25, they're just not buried until 75" accurate?

The answer that I saw around me (and I even started on this path myself at one time) was that there are those who spend 5/7 of their lives wishing they weren't there!! Those 5 days are (for most at least) Monday - Friday.

How many times during a week do we hear others complain about it NOT being Friday rather than being happy this it is today? Then, when it is Friday night, they try to cram an entire 7 days worth of fun, family, pleasure and whatever else into the other 2 days. Wow! Sunday night rolls around and people start getting depressed over a day (Monday) that isn't even upon them yet!!

As for me....I choose to follow this program. I choose to rejoice in each day. I choose to change.

If you've just read this line of thought, well thank you. If there is any feedback then feel free to give me your thoughts. I hope you didn't feel it a waste of your time. All the best and have a great day.
