“This new day is an opportunity. This new day holds promise. This new day has never happened before. Today is completely new. Buddha is reported to have said, ‘each day you are born again’. The old is gone, the new is now. Begin your day enthusiastically. It makes a great difference! It is important! The only reason you don’t think so is your brain works to keep things consistent habitually.

That means we don’t notice what we don’t notice. That’s why Buddha said it. So, we’d have an opportunity to go beyond our neural wiring. Sometimes, if things are not pointed out we won’t notice. That’s why they are masters, mentors, coaches and guides. That’s why paying attention to those who’ve gone before you is important. Still, most will miss it, perhaps even you. That is normal.

The exception is when someone listens, looks and thinks and acts differently as a result. Today is new whether you believe it or not. It is new whether you do anything about it, act like it or not. The opportunity and advantage are yours whether you believe it, do something about it, or continue on as you have. Independent of your mindset, all is new every microsecond. Things are always changing.

Everything is in motion. Even your mind. The difficulty we face is your mind is in motion within a set of certain parameters. The opportunity is to think outside the limits. Few will. Many won’t. Which you do is up to you. Many will think and say they do but continue as they always have steeped in deception. The few who do will experience something. All the rest miss. The beauty of the new opportunity.

Set aside time to do things that make you feel wonderful. To enjoy better days and nights it begins when you arise. Steal an hour to dedicate to your personal development. It’s a great habit to cultivate. You’ll be amazed at how much better the days become! Do some things you don’t normally do. Explore novelty and being different in thought, word and deed. Try it on like new clothes. It’s a gift to do this.

Choose some things that you might not otherwise do. Stretch yourself. A few things you can do: Yoga, exercise, meditate, walk, enjoy nature. Read or listen to positive motivational materials. Smile all the while you get ready. Laugh for 5 or more minutes. Visualize your goals and dreams already accomplished and enjoy the feelings. Ask Directed Questions™. Direct your mind in different ways.

Immerse yourself in gratitude. Feel it fully. Review what you appreciate. Feel your gratitude! Chant enthusiastically your affirmations. Sing, dance. Fill your mind and being with joy. What you put out there you get more back. Like attracts like. Do one or more of these. Spend your time in service to you. DO things that make you feel joyful, positive and confident. Set the tone for the rest of the day.

As a friend of mine once said, ‘a kiss in the evening is great, but you can enjoy a morning kiss the entire day.’ Make a habit of starting your day off right and you will make the rest of your day incredible. Once you begin this practice all your days will be more fulfilling and enjoyable. I promise! Your best days are ahead of you! Celebrate Everything!” Rex Sikes
