What is the most important day of your life? The answer to this question is much simpler than you think. Today! Today is the most important day of life and the reason is quite simple.
The past cannot be changed, while the future has not yet happened. You have no power to do anything about the things that have happened or to try to live in the future. This would only take your focus away from the present, from the most important day of your life - today. Therefore, the optimal strategy for anyone is to make the best of the moment we are living.
You may rightly say how can an ordinary working day be the most important day? You are just in meetings or sitting in your office. Maybe you just had a big fight with your loved one, you lost your job or someone from your family. Is it still the most important day of life?
The answer is yes again! Doing our best will make things easier for us in the long run, or at least we can more easily cope with the situation that has challenged us at the moment. Ignoring the present and just waiting for it to pass does not work. We may face some more challenges again tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and the day after. Praying that today will just end soon doesn't make things better.
Many years from now, you won't even remember today or what exactly happened. Today will melt into weeks, months, years, but each day helps create days you'll remember for a long time. Your wedding day, the birth of your first child or a major career achievement.
The key to all these marked days and memories are precisely these ordinary days, the most important ones of life.
You have to remind yourself as soon as you wake up that just the fact that you see light again outside the window is a blessing. Make today important and not by doing extraordinary things. A small gesture, a helping hand to someone in need, an unexpected visit to grandma, or a compliment to a colleague are enough. Do good deeds every day.
Remember that if today has no special meaning for YOU, what you can do for someone else can be very special and meaningful to THEM. The moral of all this? Make today the best. Even if it's your "worst day" enjoy it and live it to the end. You can deal with it tomorrow, next week or next year when you get there.
