This is life. This is it. Don’t think of this day as a dress rehearsal for tomorrow. Today is it.
You are not a guest at a party. You are a host or hostess of the party. Each day when you wake up, think of this as your role throughout the day. You are not here to find someone who will make you feel welcome and comfortable. You are here to allow everyone around you feel welcome and comfortable. That is your job.

Do you believe this? I’ve found that thinking this way allows me to put “me” aside and think of those around me. When I think of those around me and believe in those around me, it makes others feel good and it makes me feel good.

Believing in yourself is not about your career, the car you drive, the house you live in, the relationship you’re in, etc. Those factors may change multiple times over the course of our lives. Believing in yourself is about purpose – finding purpose in the smallest details. The smallest detail that I can think of sometimes is the fact that I exist, side by side with a ginger ant, in the same moment.

Why am I here? To celebrate the day. To celebrate life. To be grateful for each moment and its minute detail. To conquer challenges with truth. I can’t help but take a more spiritual approach to this “thing” I’ve been working on. So I smile when I think of this Biblical passage:
