One Of The Best Days Of The Rest Of Your Life

If I were to tell you that today could be one of the best days of the rest of your life would you believe me?  You might ask if I had a winning lottery ticket for you or some other great fortune to give you.  Maybe you would think I could arrange for you to visit with your lifelong idol--- perhaps a sports celebrity or movie star.   Well, it doesn't have anything to do with a large sum of money or meeting any particular person.  It has nothing to do with what I could do for you or what anyone else could do for you.  There are a lot of amazing things that could happen today that would make today special and one you may remember for a long time, but what I am talking about is making it a day that would impact the rest of your life!   

Here is my point and what you need to consider today.  I believe that everyone of us could make a choice today to start doing something or stop doing something that would change the course of your life.  It could be something fairly big or something relatively small, but it will change the rest of your life.  Some of you know right away what it is you need to do, while some of you may need to think a little bit about what you could do.  Regardless, I am certain everyone can come up with something that would make you remember June 15, 2017 as the day you did something different which changed the course of your life.  

Over the years as I have discussed this in therapy groups with adolescents at the hospital, some of their responses have been as follows:  "I'm going to stop using drugs;" "I'm going to listen to my Mom;" "I'm going to stop being so hard on myself;" "I'm going to start smiling."  Any of those sound good for you?  There are countless other choices and only you know what is going to be the most beneficial for you.  You only have one life to live and you never know when your time will be done, so what are  you waiting for?  GET TO IT!  Make a choice today and start living the life you know you can live!
