Today, take a moment to notice the heavy faces on people you see. There is often a certain, serious expression that people carry with them throughout the day. I was once at Disney World, and I noticed that many of the parents of small children had heavy, down-trodden faces. Disney World is the happiest place on earth, right? Be wary of your thoughts today, and don’t let your mind create a burden on you and others. Realize that you are in the happiest place on earth! There’s nowhere else you’d rather be than right here, and right now. Don’t darken your atmosphere by carrying your concerns around with you today. Don’t let what’s bothering you about the past or the future interrupt the potential joy of today.
Today is here for you to enjoy! Too many people go about their day overwhelmed by their cares and concerns. Help lighten their yoke with some much-needed love and humor. Use words of encouragement and let others know all will be well. Let your countenance show the joy of the present moment. The stress you carry around with you is not necessary – it’s baggage that is weighing you down. Let some light in and create some space, today. Create some space for a some silence, a smile, a compliment, a moment for humor. Slow down, be present and laugh. Dispel the heavy clouds that loom over you, and let the sun shine through you. Softening your heart and lightening your yoke is a great recipe for a successful day, today and everyday.
Thanks, Ryan! I needed that!
So glad you read it!
