Your Day is a Mystery Box
My son bought my wife a gift certificate for a spa day for the holidays. It was purchased online and I printed it off for him.
“I want to put it in a box,” Colton said.
I had a feeling that was coming.
Luckily, we have no shortage of boxes thanks to several recent shipments so that wasn’t going to be a problem. Colton picked one of them and we wrapped the gift before putting it under the tree.
We didn’t put anything in the box other than the 4 inch by 6 inch paper that the coupon was printed on.
The box is huge. The gift is not. My wife won’t have any idea what her gift is until she opens it. It’s a mystery box.
Your day is a lot like that. It fits inside of a distinct frame — 24 hours — and if you were to look at it on a wall calendar (not unlike this one) the day would be represented as a box.
But here’s the thing: you get to decide how to open the day and what to do with it, just like a gift.
You could rip open the wrapping paper on a gift and get right to the good stuff, meaning that you can’t reuse the wrapping paper.
My wife gets to have a range of dates and times when she can use the gift. She has options. With your day, you have options as well.
But unlike the mystery my wife faces this holiday season, you face that mystery every single day.
I have gift for you, too. Click here to receive it.
