Good Days Or Bad Days
Ever had a bad day... a good one? Had more bad ones than good ones in a week or month? Had more good ones in a year than you feel you deserved? Dumb questions? Well, trust me I have a lot more, but I'll save them for another time but let me ask you two more... How do you define good and bad? And, in the end, which ones helped you grow, learn, become or contribute more to others? More dumb questions? I don't think so but I'm writing this article so the real answers are up to you, but I would ask you to finish reading before you decide on your answers. So here goes.
What's a good day?
So, today - you got a raise, didn't get a flat tire, had lunch with friends, had a wonderful date night with your spouse, got a text from your Doc. and he said you have a clean bill of health and the good stuff just kept on coming - all in all - a good day.
What's a bad day? You got bad news from your dentist, the AC in your car crashed, you lost your favorite - whatever - your kids got in trouble in school and yes, so much more.
So, let me ask you - who or what is in charge or in control of your day - you or the stuff that happens during the day? In other words, when good stuff happens you have a good day and when bad stuff happens, well it's a bad day. See where I'm going with this. If the stuff that happens determines whether your day is a good one or a bad one - you are not in control of your day - your day (the stuff that happens) is in control of you.
Here's the bigger problem - the same could be said of weeks, months or even years. Are you having a good year or a bad one? Are you having a good life or a bad one? I mean I could go on and on with this crap but I'm sure you have got it by now. All I'm asking is as you go through life, no matter how long or short it is or what happens or what doesn't or what you get or what you lose, etc. - who or what is in control?
My observations over the years having spoken on 25 countries and met thousands of people around the world is simply that the majority of people are not in control of their days, oh if you asked them all, they think they are and would say they are, but watch how they react or respond to the stuff that happens throughout the day or week, etc. and then ask yourself the simple question - who or what do you think is in control of their life? A better question is which is in control of your days/life?
Here's a thought - stop labeling your days as good or bad, just be glad you got another one cause do you know how many people die every day in this world - well it's over 150,000 - you weren't one of them today so - today is a good day?
Here's another thought - generally we learn little from the good days or good stuff that happens on what we call good days. It's the perceived bad days, events, situations, people or circumstances that we call or define as bad that often give us the greatest opportunities for faster growth, new learning, new creative ideas or solutions, and overall increased wisdom. So, consider that the bad days, in the end, might actually be better than the good days - what an amazing concept - but you might want to keep it to yourself as sharing it with others - well, they might think you have gone off the deep end.

Today - What If It Was Your Last One!
I know, the title might sound a bit morbid but think about it, today is the last day for over 7500 people who live in the US. Add other countries to the results - and the number is over 150,000. WOW - and one of these today - wasn't you! Over 6500 US citizens are currently turning 65 every day... are you one of them?
Well, if you are lucky someday you will be. So, where are you going with this article? That question after less than 15 seconds of your life is exactly the point I will try and make. So, to save some of your time so you don't have to read the entire article since I'm sure you have better or more important things to browse on your phone or computer... let's assume for a moment you don't have another tomorrow. Yes, you have had all of your yesterdays but today is your last day. Will you spend it on your device browsing Facebook, Twitter, etc.? Will you spend it in front of the TV watching your favorite sports team? Will you spend it working out at your local gym?
Will you spend it at work earning money that you will never get to spend? Stupid questions or assumptions? No - remember I said today is the last one you get here and then it's... Bye Bye.
So, I'll ask you one more time, how will you spend today if you knew it was your last one?
OK, now you can go back to whatever it was you were doing or want to do instead of reading. For everyone else, I would like you to consider a few basic premises. You can agree or disagree with any or all of them - your choice:
One - sooner or later we will be one of the above statistics - we are out of here.
Two - No one knows when, how or where it will end for them.
Three - You will leave here with some regrets and some unfinished business.
Four - It's only a matter of time before you and your life will no longer be at the forefront of other's lives you left behind.
Five - Where you are headed next will be related to how you lived while you were here.
Six - While here you touched some people in a positive way and others in a negative way.
Seven - On your last day you can't fix all the mistakes or failures you made while here.
Eight - You will never know what legacy you left behind you.
I'll let you come up with numbers nine and ten...
Nine -
Ten -
Life is short and fragile and it's unfortunate that far too many of us, and I include myself in this group, wait far too long to fix things, change things, do things, undo things, etc. And for many of us, we will never have that opportunity, so I would like to leave you with three quick thoughts: If you knew ahead of time you were leaving today - 1) what would you try and fix? 2)Who would you spend your time with and 3)
How would you spend your time with them?
Don't wait too long or put too much stuff off till later- none of us knows the when...

How to Create Your Best and Boost Your Productivity Using Accountability Buddies
Look how far you've come! More than ever, you prioritize and set boundaries. You have daily goals and you use your to-do list wisely.
And yet, you just know there's more time you'd like to claim for special projects. You procrastinate here and distract yourself there. Some time challenges are quite stubborn, after all! They don't just pack up and leave of their own accord.
Discouraged? Don't let it get you down! Instead, try joining forces with an accountability buddy. Scheduled check-ins can help you remain on course.
What support does an accountability buddy provide?
With an accountability partner, you:
1. Identify your daily goals.
2. Establish how the two of you will check in - by phone, email, etc.
3. Identify for yourself the action steps needed to reach your goal.
4. Check in regularly, generally on a daily basis.
5. Keep within the agreed time frame. If speaking on the phone, a check-in may take up to 15 minutes total. An email check-in tends to be more brief.
6. Relate as a neutral listener to your buddy's check-in, and only volunteer feedback when specifically requested.
7. Remain on topic, using your time in a mindful and respectful way.
Can you envision how this might help you take that next step forward? Think of a task that remains stalled, and imagine how good it will feel to bring it to completion!
By relating with neutrality to a colleague and consistently reporting on your varying rate of progress, you build a strong base to generate still more Time Energy™. That's because you pull upon Adult strengths like persistence, problem-solving, and follow-through in situations you've avoided in the past.
There's an added benefit. Working with an accountability buddy helps you relate to your personal projects with more objectivity and perspective. And by combining self-reference with active listening, you enrich your time while boosting your effectiveness.
And to move toward your Heart-Based Time Success, sign up for our free gift, The Finding Time Success Kit, which includes "The New Finding Time Boundary Template: 9 Simple, Sequential Steps to Find More Time and Recharge Your Energy!" Using a workbook format this powerful and practical time template helps you progress beyond disappointment and frustration. Discover that 24 hours really are enough!
