Waiting for some special day?

“In life we have two choices: to wait for some special day – or to celebrate each special day” – Rasheed Ogunlaru, Coach – Speaker – Author

Today is a special day. It is February 29. It’s a day that only comes around every four years. So it is a special day within a very special year  a leap year. But the question is are you waiting around for some special day; a birthday, a wedding day, a holiday – a good day? You see if you are you can find that your life can very quickly slip away if you live it that way.

It’s very easy to slip into the mindset of waiting for the weekend or dreading Monday – or looking forward to this party or the summer or this special moment in your career. It is both projection and postponement. It is procrastination and putting too many eggs in one basket. It is overlooking the magic, the potential and the possibility of the most important day in your life – today. Today is the day. Tomorrow is a wish, a hope, it is a bonus.

Likewise perhaps you are dreading tomorrow – this event, that event, this moment, that moment. That too is projection. And it is between projection and postponement that life is lost.

There is another way. To live in a space of deep gratitude and appreciation for the fact that you are here today and have been gifted with another day. Another moment. Another opportunity …and within this, yes one can enjoy reflecting and one can enjoy what might be on the horizon but from a space of being rooted and present.

I wish you a wonderful, joyful and fulfilling day.
