"Today is a new day." Have you ever stopped to think about what that means to you? Each new day provides each of us with so many opportunities to live a fuller and healthier life. In what ways are you holding yourself back?
Defined by the Past
Do you ever feel like you are put in a box by the people who know you? They expect you to act, dress, and respond a certain way based on their past experience of you. Have you allowed yourself to become defined by your past?
I say embrace each new day as a gift and an opportunity to be whoever the heck you want to be, even if it's just for one day. Take a risk. Wear a new style. Respond differently, unexpectedly and honestly. Be known for your fearlessness and confidence. Dare to be interesting. After the initial shock, people are more likely to admire you than ridicule you. In fact, you may be surprised how little others take notice at all, because people (other than your immediate family) really aren't all that interested in your doings. No offense, but everyone is already preoccupied with their own universe in which they play a starring role. At most, you are just a supporting actor.
