This morning it was egg whites, bacon and half a grapefruit. Yesterday, cereal, a few nuts and grapefruit.
Breakfast.
I mention the meal because it’s what I partake of right before I write this article to you every day.
Every day.
What a fabulous phrase. As much as we would love to take bows for sporadic activities, pointing to them as an indication of our progress, it is actually what we decide to do every day that energizes our character.
So in a sense, I’m a very selfish man. Even though it may appear that I am graciously offering encouragement to folks all over the world through my scribblings, the action of doing so affords me an emotional and spiritual cleansing daily, which transforms me into the man I am.
I will say this bluntly–if you don’t do something every day that is purposely accomplished, faithfully delivered and inspired by the rejuvenation of new ideas, you will eventually become convinced that life is pretty boring, which can lend itself to anything from lethargy to depression.
So here’s a simple little phrase to remember in becoming an “every day” human being instead of a hit-and-miss planet creature:
SOMEhow do SOMEthing for SOMEbody
Because SOMEday you will be SOMEwhere and need SOME more.
This is a fabulous philosophy, and makes twenty-four hours seem like a lifestyle instead of a waiting room for the next piece of “planned excitement.”
Matter of fact, I was shocked the other day when one of our potential sponsors said that he was going to “pass” on having us in this year, but “maybe next year.”
My mind nearly went into a spastic seizure. Next year?? Doesn’t this fellow know that’s three hundred and sixty-five days away? Three hundred and sixty-five opportunities to gain value, produce emotion and advance the cause. But you see, he’s convinced that he’s mature by being a big planner instead of a simple doer.
Every day.
It doesn’t have to be complicated. It doesn’t even have to be meaningful. It is a quality ritual wherein we prove our belief in the value of life by setting off moments for intentional endeavor.
In doing so, you go from being a victim to a victor.
You transform yourself from haphazard to motivated.
And you start appreciating the power of the rising of the sun and the setting of the same as a great barometer for self-inspection.
Let me say it one more time:
Somehow do something for somebody because someday you will be somewhere … and need some more.
