I’ve been thinking lately about each day. Particularly, my days. We all get our own day. That’s pretty neat if you think about it. Today is yours. Tomorrow will be yours. Today is mine. Tomorrow will be mine. I get to do whatever I want with it. Sure, I have to show up at work. I have obligations. But I get to decide who I am going be and how I am going to go about my day.

A few days ago I came across this quote, “how you do anything is how you do everything”. I think I do a pretty good job at noticing each day and being present but this quote just really stuck with me. It’s hard to not fall into the routine of every day. But if I am being honest with myself, what am I truly doing every day? How I am being fulfilled? How am I helping? What is making me happy? Am I doing the things I want to be doing? Am I saying the things I want to be saying?

These are questions that are important to me. And after reading that quote, it really just hit home that these are my days. These questions that I think are important, ARE important. They mean something. The answers add value to my life. So to me, it’s imperative that I am aware during the day and not passive. Days will go by like nothing happened if we let them. I don’t want that. My days aren’t guaranteed; what am I waiting for? If there are things I want to be doing, I need to do them. If there are things I want to say, I need to say them. There is no perfect time. The perfect time for anything is now.

I used to get so caught up in the idea of things being perfect. But now, I’m winging it a little bit and it’s worked out so far. Following your heart never hurts. That’s what I’m doing and it hasn’t led me astray. In fact, I truly believe I’m right where I am supposed to be (if I’m supposed to be anywhere) but it feels good and I’m happy. That’s what life is about right?

So, these are our days. These are OUR days. What are we waiting for?
