FMQ 512 Today Is A Special Day - Find Out Why

Today Is A Special Day – Find Out Why

Every single day is unique, but how often do we really live it like that? In this Five Minute Quickie, I want you to pause, reflect, and realise that today is the only one you’ll ever get. No repeats, no reruns.

We’ll dive into:

• Why seeing today as a gift and a present changes your mindset

• How a little gratitude and intention can make ordinary days extraordinary

• Simple ways to create meaning for yourself and others in the moment

This isn’t about waiting for the future or getting stuck in the past. It’s about recognising that today is special — because it’s all we really have.

Listen in, share it forward, and let’s make this day one worth remembering.

And the transcript WARNING if you're a lover of the written word this may make you frustrated, or angry - you have been warned - is it an 'ism

 

Hey the five minute quickie. Now this is really just five minutes to muse, or in some ways for me to muse and you hopefully to get inspired to muse on the same type of subjects or develop them even more. So what am I going to talk about today? Well it is today I want to talk about because what is today? What is today? Do you know? Well today is special.

 

It's a special day today and why is it special? Come on, come on. Why is this special? Because it's the only bloody one you're going to get. Only one.

 

This day has never happened before it will never happen again. End of. End of.

 

This is the only day you're going to get. Now how often do we think about that? How often do you think about this is a special day? Or do we just go through it mundanely? What's the word? Anyway you know just go through our life. I don't say our daily life but yeah it is.

 

How often do we just go through the day without thinking that it is special? How often? And how often then because if we thought about this is the one and only day we're going to get, make it special. And yeah personal admitment. Admitment? My words today are no good.

 

I don't do it either. Well if I don't or do, I don't do it enough. Because I've just been thinking about it lately.

 

Thinking well you know I heard a lovely lovely saying. You know what's special about today? Well it's another day above ground. Waking up and thinking another day above ground.

 

I'm breathing. I'm here. So I now have an opportunity because it's all about having an opportunity to make this day special in a special way.

 

You know maybe there's things I can do for other people. I know I go all bang on about selfless service. I do try to do as much as I can.

 

We're all human. We all have our little foibles and we fall back and we get blindsided but we always hopefully try to do a little bit more for other people using the skills we've learned. Help them in this special day.

 

And also I also think that we should make it special for ourselves. Because at the end of the day we're the only one of us. And therefore how can we make it special for us too? And if you thought about it just this is the muse.

 

This is a muse where I'd love you to take away and sit down in the sun or in the evening or wherever you are with your glass of water, maybe a gin and tonic, maybe a beer, maybe a cup of tea, a coffee, maybe your puzzle book and just think how can I make every day special? Are there things I could do? Or just being grateful. Getting that seed of gratefulness inside you and feel it even more because today is special. And what are the things I can do on the next day that's going to be special? Now you see the day is not the past is it? Can't be.

 

The past is gone isn't it? Well the past is we say the past is gone but it doesn't exist. Time is just a figment I guess. But the past is just a memory.

 

And the future, well it's not there is it? Because if it was there we'd be in it. But it's just the next day when it comes into the present. And that's the thing.

 

Why do you think today is called the present? Here's what I think. Because it's the present, it's a gift. We've been given the gift of life, given the gift of making it special, being our unique selves and doing the things that we do uniquely.

 

And when we just get this sense of gratitude and actually set our intention to do something really good today it'll be awesome. And then when we go to sleep we can just feel so grateful just as we close our eyes of a great day. And then when we wake up in the morning again it's another day above ground.

 

How can I make today's gift of the present special? There you go. That is something to muse about isn't it? It's deep or it could be deep but it is something to to muse. And once you do that and you start to get that sense of gratitude I believe the days just get better.

 

And please share this with your friend, your best friend. Not your best friend inside because they know but your best friend outside. And share the podcast if you would so it grows and more people get to have the present and be special.
