Everyday Is the Start of a Clean Slate

I think God is an absolute genius! He created the night and day.

What if it was designed like that on purpose? I mean, what if with every sun rise, is a sign that it is a new time to start over?

Why Do You Wake up?

When you wake up in the morning — how do you feel?

Do you feel refreshed and ready to take on any challenges that are showing their grueling faces and sitting in the way? When 4 o’clock hits, I am up and ready to embrace the day. Each day is a gift.

What is the first thing you do whenever you wake up in the morning?

Do you thank a higher power for waking you up? Do you roll over and check your Facebook notifications? Or do you hit the good ol’ snooze button and forget about the priorities that are burning a hole in your brain? Whatever you do when you first wake up — you must realize that there is the reality that you actually have another day to conquer.

Do We Take Each Day For Granted?

Back in my social, extremely hung-over and non spiritual days; I would sleep in until about noon or 2 pm. That was absolutely a waste of time and energy.

The more excited you are to wake up, the more you see blessings and attract opportunity! My days would be wasted, and I would feel miserable. Now, I’m not saying it’s not okay to have a few drinks, or a bottle of wine. I’m just saying I used to over-do it and take my days for granted.

Now I Wake Up With Purpose.

Now that I know that each day is a gift and a blessing — I wake up with a purpose, or the motivation to keep striving to find my purpose. Each day I look for a new problem to take on and a new lesson to learn. My purpose when I wake up, is to become the best version of myself, and to teach, and be taught by individuals that are in a better place than I am.

Whether that be financially, emotionally, internally and externally! There’s always something to learn from someone else.

What If You Die Tomorrow?

One of the motivating factors that keeps me grateful and excited for the next day — is what if I didn’t wake up tomorrow?

What if I couldn’t see my kids, my wife or the sun?

That thought alone, scares the daylights out of me. But it is very much some people’s reality. Some people didn’t wake up this morning, and didn’t get to say goodbye to their loved ones. How does that make you feel inside? It gives me chills and a lump in my throat. This is why I say you must be grateful for every morning, for it is a fresh new start, with plenty of light to light up the tunnel of purpose!

Will You Be Thankful For Every day?

Now, ask yourself:

“Will I be happy with each beam of sun that hits my crusty face every morning”?…

Or will I continue to complain about how early I have to get up, my wife’s morning breath, and how I want to stay in bed and sleep longer? The choice is 100000% up to you. But I have laid out good reasons to be happy every time you open your gifts in the morning; (your eyes). So be happy, love everyone — because we never know when we won’t see the sun again; and start every day with a clean slate… let go of yesterday’s worries and troubles.
