“What day is it?” asked Pooh.
“It’s today,” squeaked Piglet.
“My favorite day,” said Pooh.”
– A conversation between Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, in A.A. Milne‘s beloved children’s stories
“Today is gonna be a big day,” she said, as she grabbed her coat and coffee, kissed her husband and headed for the car. “Huge presentation to our largest client!”
“Me, too,” he replied. “It’s my first meeting with our new boss, and I’m not sure exactly what’s happening, but it feels different.”
The cool thing is, every day is a big day, and those days are made up of big moments. And often, THAT moment is one that sneaks past us on the way to the presentation or the meeting with the new boss. There’s no shortage of quotes and motivational speeches on how to live or be in the moment, and they’re all spot on. This moment, right here, right now, is where a difference gets made. Sometimes we won’t know we made it, and other times we might not realize someone made it for us. But it happens here. Now.
If we set out each day to make that day our favorite day, I like our odds. Especially when we remember that moment when we were fully in this moment.
