1. Wake.
Open my eyes. No alarm. Let my brain engage. Stretch. Sit up. Embrace the day slowly and joyfully.
2. Pray.
Thank God for another wonderful day to wake up to. And then I do wonderfully.
3. Fill.
While getting ready I give thanks for all the blessings I have. And pray for the ones I desire. And start with confidence.
4. Love.
I wake up my wife with a kiss. Let her and me know love still exists. Love makes life rich.
5. Share.
Tweet, FB or IG. It fills me with fulfillment to share what I know. And helps me clarify my thoughts.
6. Help.
I head to my office. I’m blessed to have a business I enjoy and clients who are friends. I spend my day helping others achieve their dreams as I achieve mine.
7. Care.
Encouraging others and being encouraged.
8. Play.
Find something you love to play and do it on your free time.
9. Move.
Most days my wife and I take a walk and on the days we don’t I golf. Get the body moving. Catch up on the day. Stimulating.
10. Refuel.
We have dinner with our children and friends as often as possible. Or just the two of us will have dinner and watch Netflix. Refuel and enjoy.
11. Unwind.
As the day ends I climb into bed and read until I’m sleepy. Then drift off slowly in the way I’d woken up.
12. End.
As I drift off I kiss my wife good night. And give thanks for the gift of one more day that I got to enjoy. And look forward to another tomorrow.
I struggled for years trying to find happiness. When I finally found it I realized I’d had it all along deep inside of me.
A rich full life is made up of common but important moments.
