Think about it. Do you do your best work on the first day of doing something? Or do you taper off and just hope to slide by? We want to think we always do our best but let me be real for a second, despite our best efforts, it does not happen like that. I am guilty of this too. I am gung-ho to do something, and for the first day (and I will even throw in the first week), I give whatever it is my all. After that, I maintain my commitment, but if I let myself slack off, I lose momentum like a sinking ship. While I still thoroughly enjoy my lazy, couch potato days, I am trying to adopt a new mindset this year by living and breathing by a planner and making the days count. Our best impressions happen on the first day, and there is a renewed energy when a new adventure is about to begin. With every new day, there should be excitement for experiencing a day we have never met before and go forth with an open mind in the hope of learning and doing great things. Life is short, and while we think there are only so many chances to get fresh starts, Drew Dudley challenges this thinking. He proposed that we have an opportunity to have 365 chances every year to start on a clean slate, and if something does not go as planned today, tomorrow can begin anew. There have been days when I wish I could close my eyes and wish for a redo. Well, after hearing Drew speak and reading his book, I realize what I thought was impossible is actually possible. It may be somewhat unconventional, but I know I can benefit from changing my thought process and look at each new day as a chance to recreate opportunities and make the best impact I can. Living each day as day one begins now. Stay Curious, Kayla ©Inquisitive Perspectives 2019
