Make the Days Count

"Don't count the days, make the days count." ~ Muhammad Ali

You only get so many days in your life. No one knows how many are left for them. They can only live their life to the fullest as long as possible. At least that is what they should be trying to do.

Did you make today count? Before you lay down to sleep for the night or at least before you let yourself drift off to sleep, think about your day. Did you live it the best you could? Are there things you would have changed about it? If there are things you would change, take a moment to live it like you would have liked it to go.

Plan out your days. Sit down for a few minutes before you start each and everyday and write down all the things you would like to get done that day. Think about some of the goals you are hoping to complete in the near future. Think about steps you could take today to make those goals come to pass. Add those tasks to your list.

I find by making that list, you will remember more of the things you need to get done even if you don't have the list in front of you. If you know you are forgetting something you were supposed to do, all you have to do is pull out that list and remind yourself. It is also a nice feeling when you can mark off the things you have completed.

Whatever you do, make the day count.
