Your Approach

How do you approach life?

Since I was a kid, I've heard it said "live each day as if it's your last".  This has never worked for me.  It evokes feelings of fear and anxiety.  So much to do and so little time.  It's a bit overwhelming for me.  I would probably spend my day doing something on my bucket list instead of doing the things I need to do.

What if, instead, we spent each day as if it was our first?  Remember the first time you met your spouse or saw your kids or your first day on the job.  This, to me, evokes feelings of excitement and wonder. 

What if we approached each day as a child?  What if looked forward to the rain or stopped and or awoke early to enjoy the sunrise?  What if we asked more "why" questions.   Us adults can learn a lot from kids.

How would you live if today was your first?
