A chance to really pay attention to who they are and what they bring to your life. Imagine taking the time to rediscover why you love them, why you call them friend, and why you enjoy their company so much.

I challenge you to see the world around you tomorrow for the first time, too. The house you live in, the car you drive, the neighbourhood, the trees, the birds, your dog, cat and hamster, too. Imagine your first bowl of Cheerios, glass of orange juice, cheese burger and fries. Go to the local florist and buy some daisies and sit in your kitchen and touch them, smell them, for the first time. Everything in your life, everyone in your life, was once a “first time.”

Tomorrow, I dare you to appreciate all of it again like it was the first time. Oh, yes. First thing in the morning, head into the bathroom and stand in front of the mirror and see yourself for the very first time, too. I mean really see yourself up close, inside and out as if you have never met before. Begin by introducing yourself. Yes, you are going to talk to yourself. But here are the rules.

Don’t talk about what you do for a living, if you are married or if you have children. Talk about you, what you love, feel, and believe... not your labels. If you can truly see yourself for the very first time, then the rest of the day will be incredible. Yes, I’m tired of the old idea of living today as if it were my last. The real excitement would be in living today as if it were my first. You know, I am really excited about tomorrow! — Beliefnet.com (Concluded)
