Each day is a new day to shine in so many areas of your life. When you wake up in the morning, you have every opportunity to make the most of the day you have been given and blessed with. 

Take a look around you sometime and try to figure out what got you where you are today. These things can be good or bad. If you are successful, chances are you’ve worked hard at something and have put forth maximum effort to get you where you are. If you are struggling, what is the cause? 

• Does your life reflect that of an alcoholic’s life and finances? Maybe that’s the root cause. 
• Does your life reflect that of someone with no drive or ambition? Maybe that’s the root cause.
• Do your finances reflect those of someone who is reckless with their hard-earned money? Maybe that’s the root cause.
• Does your health and weight reflect that of someone who eats garbage food? Maybe that’s the root cause.

If you can take a step back from your life and see where the hurt, harm, or challenges are, you can find the root cause of them. Once you find the root cause of even the simplest thing in your life, you can change that today – or at least take the first step towards change.

Today is the day to make the change, not tomorrow, not next week, today. Go after it with all you’ve got and watch those trouble areas of your life become opposites of what they once were.
