In Others’ Words: New Day, New Choices

Sometimes, simple is best.

New day. New choices.

It’s today. There’s nothing I can do to undo what happened yesterday — except, maybe, offer an apology if an apology is needed. But that doesn’t change the choices I made yesterday. It’s merely the choice I am making today.

I can base today’s choices on the ones I made yesterday — and continue to make the same kind of choices or make different choices. But maybe, just maybe, it’s all about realizing it’s a new day and I can make new choices.

Too often we go from one day to the next just choosing the same old thing, as if today is the same as yesterday and tomorrow will be the same as today — as if we have no choice in the matter. But that kind of living is allowing ourselves to be blinded by what was and what is … and not seeing what could be. 

Every day brings new choices. Every. Single. Day.

Maybe today’s the day we admit we’ve been making poor choices and we make a new, better choice. Or maybe today’s the day we say, “Yes, I’ve been making good choices, but I wonder what would happen if I made an even better one?” And we’re brave enough to choose something new . . . something bigger, better, bolder — just for today. Don’t worry about tomorrow.

Just for today, make a choice.

In Others’ Words: When have you made a choice and changed things — your perspective, your life —  for a day (or longer)?
