What Day Is It?

Ever wake up half asleep and drag yourself to the bathroom and throw that water on your face to try and help you wake up and get it together only to stare in the mirror and suddenly say to yourself, "wait a minute - what's today?" And then you realize, its Saturday. What am I doing? So instead of staying up you rush back to the bed to sleep for just an hour or so longer. First of all, if your days are that hectic or wild that you can't tell what day it is then you definitely need to slow things down. More than 70% of us have jobs that seem to require us to always be on the go -- our minds are racing a mile a minute trying to come up with ideas, develop them into a work plan, and then activate and get it into high gear to make it happen with a target date of (like) yesterday! And for what? For that 70%, almost none of us are doing anything that's gonna save the world from hunger, poverty, or the illnesses that plague mankind. Don't get me wrong. Somewhere out there there's somebody working on something that will help solve some of these things, its just not us. But these are the times we live in, where nothing or no one can wait for anything for fear of being left behind. Our competitor might get their first and then what? Sometimes coming in second just might give you the upper edge and produce something of substance and quality. So next time you have to stop and ask yourself what day is it? Your answer should be today is ...the day I take a break to focus on life and all that makes it worthwhile.
