Today Is The First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life

What if you told yourself that today is the first day of the rest of your life, first thing this morning?

What would you do differently? Anything?

Sometimes regrets start to sidle their way into my memories, and this morning I mentioned to a friend that I had some noteworthy experiences from life choices I made, that could have taken me out of this life, or changed it dramatically. I put myself in danger and only by the grace of God am I able to live and tell about it. I’ve also done and said things I’ve regretted deeply and have asked for forgiveness, but having said that, nothing up until now can be changed, and whether forgiveness from others is in the works for me, forgetting these events will probably not happen as long as I have the ability to remember.

So this morning I plan to go forth as if ‘today is the first day of the rest of your life’, and I’ll plan accordingly. Hopefully at the end of my life, I’ll have fewer regrets than the ones I have now.
