Was today just another day? Feeling like you are just stuck in a routine and nothing new ever happens? It doesn't have to be that way. A little while ago I talked about waking up every day and deciding if you were going to have a good day or a bad day. This is a very similar concept. When you are just having "another day," don't focus on that. Find something that was different or open your eyes to find the amazing little small things that we pass by every day.
Here is an example for you: I drive 30ish miles to work in the morning. This means I have to wake up a little earlier to make sure I have enough time to get there with morning traffic. I use to find myself silently grumbling about this every morning and how I wish I could just sleep in. I was put in a situation where it didn't really matter what I thought, I still had to get up and go to work. One day I happen to notice how amazing the sunrise was that morning. I then thought to myself, "have I been missing this every day???" From that point on I now think of my drive as I chance for me to admire how beautiful this earth is and it now gives me a chance to reflect on my life and even connect with God.
You will be put in routines and situations where you don't have a lot of control. The only thing we can always control is our thoughts and our point of view on our particular situation. Try this tomorrow, see if you can tell a difference. Best of luck, my friends.
