Does One Day Really Make A Difference?

Every day that you wake up, you have a new opportunity. You have the chance to have a day that is inspiring for yourself and others – to choose to make today as perfect as it can be by putting in your best attitude and effort. On the other hand, you can tell yourself, ‘one day won’t make a huge difference, I’ll just sleep in/skip breakfast/cancel that engagement, miss my workout, etc.’ However, as many of you have experienced, one day off (when not scheduled or thought of in advance as a rest period) can much more easily roll into a longer period of time. It is a slippery slope when you begin to lose accountability to yourself. It is the unseen moments of decision and determination which build your character. It’s those tiny moments where you refuse to let your alarm clock sleep again and you harden up and face your day with a positive attitude, when you put your runners on even though you seem to think bed will give you more satisfaction. Because, if one day doesn’t make a difference, then what is two days – a week? Everyday makes a difference. Every single step toward becoming a better you is worth it. It is worth the momentary struggle to overcome the barriers of comfort and strive for greater. As is most of our experience, once you actually get up and begin what you have considered avoiding, the discomfort gives way to a sense of satisfaction and pride in ourselves and our determination. So, if you are tempted to give in to your complacency today – we urge you to instead make today count.
