Win the Day

I look for inspiration everywhere that I can. I've had people tell me that they don't need motivation or inspiration, that they are self motivated. I used to argue with them to try to convince them that there is no such thing, but I gave up trying to convince a "man against his will" a while back ( at least on this subject).
So last night I was watching TV late at night. I turned on Bow Hunting TV on my DVR to look for tips on an item that I have on my bucket list. There is a segment on bow hunting fitness. Last night's tip wasn't something particularly spectacular, in fact it was rather simplistic. But tied up in its simplicity was its power. Last night's fitness tip was on just being consistent and fighting to get in your workouts. They commented that even if it is a quick workout that is at less than 100% of your effort, it is better that you get one in on a regular basis ( whatever that means and is scheduled to mean for you). I whole-heartedly agree with them on this and have realized it to be an utter truth in my life. In fact I read a sentence, as part of a mission statement to myself daily, that says, "I am a master of discipline. Small things done regularly make a huge difference." By reading that mantra daily, I hope to convince myself that it is who I am- and it is certainly who I strive to become every day.
The commentator made a statement in the piece that I loved and have heard in my head  all day long. He said, "You need to do whatever you need to in order to WIN THE DAY". I think that too many times we try to win the life, instead of winning life by winning one day at a time, and in fact, actually just winning more days than we lose.
So, ask yourself, did you Win the Day today? as a father, as a spouse, as a business owner or employee? as an someone dedicated to a healthy lifestyle. I know that I can answer yes to some of these with certainty and some with less, but I know that tomorrow, I can wake up, look at the roles that I hold in my life and try to win the day in each one of them. Hopefully you can do the same. If you can, I tip my hat to you.
