Every day is a bonus

If you are reading this you are alive.

You will have had a lifetime up to today.

There will have been good, bad, and ugly days.

The thing is every day that we wake up is a bonus, there is no guarantee, there is no contract that you’ll definitely get ‘x’ amount of life.

If you are here to just eat, sleep, work all hours to pay bills that make others wealthy and buying stuff that will not enrich our lives, then there is no point.

We are all here for our own individual purpose, spend a little time each day making this day count in some way towards that purpose, do something that brings you joy. Spend time with those who matter, make experiences, make memories.

Don’t waste the bonus that today is.

Stop looking

We are always looking for something we don’t have.

Stop.

You already have everything you need in life to be happy, successful, and to live a meaningful and fulfilled life.

If we focus on all that we have then you will never need to seek more. Anything else that comes is a bonus.
