Life is short eat dessert first.
Why does that phrase make us happy? I think it's because it wants us to celebrate and enjoy the things we enjoy most. Let's face it. Dessert is pretty darn awesome. I'm a big believer in celebrating the joys in our days. It can be very easy for us to beat ourselves up. We criticize the moments where we weren't quite perfect, where we didn't live up to our self-expectations. While that moment has its place, it shouldn't define us. It shouldn't limit our ability to stand up again and make a difference to our communities.
I also take issue with the word FAVORITE. I get asked again and again what is my favorite part. What was my favorite ride, trip, or other adventure. I came to the realization that if I didn't getting asked the question of favorites, others may not like it either. So I'm doing something about it, and I invite you to join me. Rather than restricting ourselves to just ONE favorite thing. I invite you to share one of your top FIVE. I've started using the hashtag #top5momentoftheday to show off those special moments. Those moments that make one think "Wow, this is great" They don't all have to be grand, and honestly, they won't be. Sometimes, your moment may be that you walked out the door with pants on. But perhaps the most important part, this that we realize that these moments exist even on those days that seem hard. Those days where all you want to do is go back to bed and try again tomorrow. Even then there is something worth seeing, worth experiencing, worth continuing.
'till next time
