Every day we get 24 hours. No more, no less. It's a rare universal, and equalizer.
If you're lucky you have a great deal of autonomy over how you spend most or all of the 24. Even if you don't, chances are most days you control at least half this time. (And yes, sleep takes up about 1/3 of our day; it's the preparatory sharpening of the axe that makes everything run smoother.)
Regardless of how many hours you direct your actions, every single waking second you own how you approach the day. You have complete sovereignty over your attitude, responses, and thoughts--and nothing else.
Are you going to waste this 24 worried about the previous one? Or some 24 that happened hundreds--or even thousands--of days ago? Maybe you'll spend this precious time on worrying about a horrific imagined future?
I've done all of the above--far too often. Trust me: There's no profit in it. For you or anyone else.
All we have is the Now. This 24 and how we approach everything that comes our way today is the only worthwhile focus.
So, on this 24th day of the year, what's the play?
