I recently got a positive message from that great metaphysician, songwriter Calvin Harris. Driving in my car, I clicked on the Playlist "Lee's Party Tunes" and the dance hit "Let's Go!" started to play. I had been trying to lighten my mood and I was pleased to hear the words "It's not about what you've done, it's about what you're doing." Then he followed up with "It's all about where you're going, no matter where you've been."
I was pleased that a dance tune with a rapper involved was not talking about banging on the bathroom floor or hitting up bitches. It was all about "Let's go, get your life on track, it's a new day and you have the opportunity for a new start, right now!"
It reminded me of one of my favorite quotes from the great teacher Raymond Charles Barker, "Yesterday ended last night." Every morning is a new chance, a new opportunity to start fresh and get on track. Many people carry a lot of baggage and are weighed down by bad choices in their past. But Dr. Barker's point is that you can start, right now, this minute, to change your life and head in a new direction. Let all that stuff go and look forward, not back. It's a new day.
What do you want your life to be today? Make it happen! Let's go!
