Let’s Get High Together
So I wake up this morning and meet my three girls in front of the TV while my wife Angela made us a hot pot of coffee. She makes the best coffee. Nowhere to go, just quality time with the family. No rush hour traffic. Just Max & Ruby followed by Good Morning America. We have to lie to our girls and tell them we need to see the weather so we know if school is cancelled. It’s the only way we can change the channel or we’d be subjected to Max & Ruby for five hours.
We take the girls to school, hit the gym and then start our day.
I woke up this morning.
Did you wake up today? I guess the answer would be ”yes” if you’re reading this blog. Then what the hell are you so uptight about? The fact you woke up should be enough for you to be thankful for and everything else is gravy. What a natural high - to be able to enjoy another day - that’s why they call it the present.
You have bills? Join the club. Boss is an idiot? Don’t I know all about that. Worried about some deadline that you need to meet? Relax. Enjoy the day and feed off the high of life.
God, family, health, business - that’s the order I live my life. It used to be the complete opposite until I started making Everyday Saturday.
Get high off all the things going right in your life. Keep focusing on everything wrong in your life and you’ll get more of it. Most people buy Advil in anticipation of headaches they know they’re going to get. Hmm, very interesting thought. I haven’t popped an Advil since leaving the j-o-b and workout six days a week. No headaches, no problems. I focus on all the blessings and nothing else. Worrying doesn’t add another minute to your life, why bother? Have you ever looked back on a problem and thought “Thank God I worried, it really made a difference in the outcome!”
If you follow the God, family, health, business plan you will begin to notice everything that is right in the world.
Don’t wake up tomorrow and run like your hair is on fire. Wake up slowly and enjoy all you have been given. Soon it will all end and you’ll wonder “Why didn’t I take more time to enjoy everything I had been given?”
It’s 5 below zero where I am fired up for the best day ever.
I’m thankful, very thankful that I figured it out before it was to late.
You’ll do the same, just take your time and enjoy all 24 hrs tomorrow. Go ahead and get high off your awesome, unbelievable, incredible, one of a kind life!
You are a champion.
