Sunday, January 31 — The Day of Poetic Song
If today is your birthday:You have a vision for your life, and you always have. You may experience it more as an idea of how you want to feel at some time in the future: for example, the idea, “When I am successful, I will be relaxed and I’ll have time for who and what I love.” That, however, cannot be the secondary goal. Whatever notion you may have about how life ought to be, whether in the front of your mind or the back, take a step to make it real, every day. Maybe that’s for 15 minutes. Maybe it’s for an hour. Maybe you devote your mornings to creating the life that you want. Maybe you will make it your primary vocation and let everything else slip off to the side. — Eric Francis
