The First day of the Rest of your life

The First Day of the Rest of your Life

Today is my little sister's 38th birthday. which means that today is the first day of the rest of her life!  And if you think about it, for every one of your reading this blog, today is the first day of the rest of your life as well – and you didn’t even have to have a birthday for that :).

When I saw this Facebook post I thought of my sister Mari who is having a birthday today. So the truth is that I wish for her the best and for all her dreams to come true! and IT WILL come true and the reason why is because when she reads it she needs to decide to believe it will happen.  

I hoped to sell my home in Mill circle, for instance, and I expect it to happen soon.  I am willing to work to make it happen, and therefore it will.  Some may think that sounds a little altruistic but the fact is that I have seen it happen time and time again in my life – I believe that a wish will come true, I work for it, and it does.  In this case I hired an expert agent in the area where I lived and he got it under contract as we speak. Many refer to that as the power of positive thinking, or the law of expectation, or The Secret.  I refer to it as faith and hope combined with action.  I have faith it will happen and that gives me hope.  Then I combine that with taking action that will take me in the direction needed to make it happen. I do everything in my own power to make my dreams come true and then I leave the rest to God, having faith that He will make whatever wish is best for me come true.  I also trust that He knows what wish I should make, even more than I do, because He knows everything and He never gets it wrong.   So ultimately if I do my best and trust Him then I am guaranteed to have my greatest wish come true!

Today is the first day of the rest of all of our lives.  Today we can start fresh, putting the past behind us with all its mistakes and all its regrets, and we can start over.  We can start today being the person most want to be in our life.  We can write down our goals for the future of what the rest of our life will look like.  We can shake off past hurts and forgive past offenses and let go of bad feelings.  We can start fresh in every aspect of our life.  What an exciting thought that is.  What an amazing opportunity to start a new race in life.  And this time we can start with all the wisdom of our past lessons learned to help guide us more smoothly ahead.  To my sister Mari and all of us.  What an incredible day today is going to be – the very first day of the rest of our lives!  Let’s make it AMAZING!!!

Con amor,
