It’s 5:51 am on a Wednesday and I’ve already been awake for nearly two hours.

By 6:05 am, I’ll be in the shower.

6:30 am — on the road.

7:10 am — at my desk at work.

There’s nothing particularly unusual about today — no critical presentation to executives or client meetings that could help make-or-break this quarter.

No — it’s just a Wednesday, an ordinary weekday in an ordinary week.

But I’m energized — excited.

The truth?

It’s up to me to embrace each day, grab it by the horns and wrestle it into submission.

Only then can my head hit the pillow at night knowing that I gave it my all; only then can I fall asleep truly satisfied.

Every day gives us a choice, determined mostly by our attitude.

So, as you go about your business today, ask yourself that simple question — see if that slight change in outlook changes your frame:

Will today be ordinary, or extraordinary?
