“You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.”
Marcus Aurelius
There is a vast opportunity that lies at your feet. You just have to pick it up.
It is indeed a GOLDEN opportunity!
If you think you already know what I am talking about, allow me to blow your mind.
All of life is experienced one day at a time. The day you have before you is the only day you can know because tomorrow may not come! Make today count!
Such realizations are always sobering and inspiring in a memento mori way, but let's look at what I'm getting at.
I want you to realize that today is a GOLDEN DAY!
Each day is gold, a 24-carat gift with 24 golden hours
Each hour is studded with 60 diamond minutes
Each minute is surrounded by 60 ruby seconds
Suppose you realize a day wasted is like losing your favorite gold jewelry. In that case, you may never let it get lost again, just like when you misplace something valuable and feel relieved when you find it. Living with the recognition of the Golden Day concept will create a Golden Life. Dare we say, an Awesome Golden Life!?
Many things go into a Golden Day. The fun part is you get to decide. What constitutes a golden day for you? Is it when you enjoy a walk in the morning or that first sip of coffee? Does it include having a great conversation at the water cooler? Is it the sense of community you get when you play Pickleball? Is it about being productive and useful to others? Is it cooking for your family and tucking in your child at night?
I am not one to pursue physical gold and store up riches at the expense of living a golden life, but ever since I discovered the Golden Day idea, I have become more careful to make the day count!
If you like the idea of the Golden Day- and why wouldn't you?- here is what you might want to consider to have more golden days or only golden days for the rest of your brief life.
Define your Golden Day: What activities, people, routines, and mindsets make your days golden?
Make a list from the above called My Golden Day! Print it; frame it or carry an index card in your pocket.
Add an alarm notice five hours before your sleep time that chimes with the message: Golden Day? This will be your daily reminder to assess if you added a gold nugget to your pouch of life’s treasures.
Spread this article far and wide to anyone you know searching for a more Awesome Life!
Don't let another day go by without making it Golden!
Do it your way and remember the Winner's Poem by Moe Norman:
Winners live each day as if their last.
Not in the future, nor in the past.
And that "someday" becomes now.
That's the way we live…NOW!
You're here today…Live!!
You may not be here tomorrow.
