Today is a new day!

It’s my new day!

You have one as well.

I try to look at each day as a blank canvas.  In fact, I have a blank canvas hanging on the wall in my office.  People look at my blank canvas with curiosity.  They think, why in the world would he have a canvas on his wall, with nothing on it?

My answer is easy, and it is intentional.  This is my daily reminder that I have a full 24 hours to paint (metaphorically, that is) my masterpiece for the day.

Some key points:

1)  This is MY canvas.  Not yours.  Not someone else’s .  Only mine.  No one will help me.  No one can help me.  What I do with it comes from my creativity, my effort, my work, my determination, my ambition, my desire.

2)  To finish my canvas, I must paint in …completely, each of the corners.  This is my reminder to finish my work, each and every day.  A reminder not to take shortcuts, not to quit early, not to be lazy….but to DO THE WORK, each and every day, until my masterpiece is completed.

3)  This is my reminder each morning that I have a brand new masterpiece to create.  What a gift!  What a responsibility.

OK…now time for me to get on to creating my masterpiece called “today.”

Let’s go get this!
