What would it look like if you had a perfect day? As my husband and I were walking towards the car after a couple of hours of shopping at the mall (not one of his favorite activities), he turned to me and said, "Today was perfect." I asked him why because all we had done was spend time with friends, run some errands, and do some shopping. It really didn't seem like anything out of the ordinary. His reply was, "Because we got to spend time together."

Having a perfect day doesn't have to mean fireworks and winning the lottery. Everyday that we are able to experience can be perfect if we choose it to be.

Perfect also doesn't mean that there are no problems and that everything goes our way. Perfect can mean that the lessons that we need to learn have been presented to us. Perfect can simply mean that our choices have gotten us to this moment in time and that is where we need to be. So it is perfect even if at the time it doesn't look so perfect.

The problem I see is we confuse the word perfect with preference. We think that if everything isn't exactly the way we want it to be it isn't perfect. Every moment is perfect because it is just the way it is. Once we learn to accept life and get into the flow we begin to see just how perfect it really is. As long as we struggle and fight against life, we will fail to see the perfection of each moment.

Coaching

Each day can be perfect if we choose to view it that way. It really doesn't matter what happens. If we are in the flow and accepting life as it comes, we will begin to see how it unfolds. The perfection of life comes in the unfolding.

Will you choose to have a perfect day today?
