July 26 - All or Nothing Day
You know the old saying, “today is the first day of the rest of your life?” Well today is the day to act like it. This is the day to give something your all or don’t even bother. It’s the day to take a chance for once and do something you’ve always wanted to do but haven’t. Have you always wanted to try something? Whether it’s singing karioke, booking that dream vacation or asking for a raise, go for it! What do you have to lose?
Tim McGraw captured the spirit of this holiday in his song “Live Like You Were Dying.” It’s about a man who finally learned the secret to living when he knew his days were about to come to an end.
Think about the things you would regret not doing if you were gone tomorrow. It’s the day to say, “I love you”, apologize or forgive an old friend and smile. Spend more time with your family. Do something nice for someone, express yourself, don’t deny your feelings and follow your heart.
When I get to the end of my days, I’d rather regret the things I did then regret the things I left undone. We would all be better people if we were to live each day as it it were our last.
