“Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.” –Buddha

What matters most….those words stuck with me when I read this quote.

It isn’t that our past and all of our accumulated experiences (both positive and negative) don’t matter.

It isn’t that our future and all of the possibilities inherent in each of us don’t matter.

It’s that what we do today matters most.

We can choose negativity and despair or positive thoughts and hope.

We can choose an apple or the candy bar.

We can choose to work out or to sleep in.

We can chose to buy the (soon to be) worthless trinket or save and invest.

We can choose another episode of our latest favorite TV show or some time to study and grow.

We can choose to have the difficult conversation or to let a relationship weaken.

We choose how we spend today.

Make it a great day.

PS – I am going to be on vacation next week and am looking for volunteers again to send out the morning emails. Just email me to let me know if you are interested in sending any and what day(s) you might want to volunteer.
