Every day when we wake up, we get to decide what message we’re going to leave on this world. Every day! This is an opportunity and a privilege. The thing I like about this saying is that it causes us to focus on the other. What message do I want to send to my spouse, to my kids, to my friends, colleagues, neighbors, etc? Whatever it is, you get to decide to send it or not by your attitude and actions.
The question is not whether or not you have a worthy message to share with others, but rather, it’s will you take the time to consistently ask what message you want to send and then will you do it? Sometimes, we get too busy and caught up in the routines of life that we don’t ever stop long enough to think about the message we want to send.
The scary thing is that no matter how we proceed through life we are sending a message – it just might not be the one you intended. In order to do this well, we must be intentional and we must think bigger than ourselves. This is a big world we live in and there’s plenty of ways for us to make a difference.
How about tomorrow when you wake up, let the message be one of love. Start with love because love is a choice and an action that will change people’s lives. As you change other people’s lives, you will find that it changes yours as well. There’s power in love so I hope you take tomorrow to love others. It doesn’t have to be a big thing; it can be a small gesture done in love. Take some time to think about this and see whose life you can touch with love.
Have a great weekend!
