Have you ever heard someone say he/she had a bad day? I have. I've heard it so much that I refuse to say that any day is bad. Over the years, I've convinced myself that I don't have bad days; I, rather, have different types of good days. Affirming this personal truth has improved my outlook on the days of my life. For me, my experiences may not be what I want them to be, but to label a day as bad discourages my ability to rejoice and be glad in it. I embrace the notion that we shouldn't just live life; we should manage it. If you've ever managed anything, you know it can be challenging. Bank accounts, households, jobs, responsibilities, and time must be managed in order for us to perform well. If we are poor managers, we risk being procrastinators whose lives fall short of reaching full potential. This book offers key essentials so that you can be proactive in managing your life when you face a difficult day. Consider the following: You can make more money, but not more time. This day is the only one you have. Yesterday will never be seen again. Tomorrow deserves preparation, but not to the detriment of sacrificing your today. Every day you are "becoming." You are "here" until you get "there." This book is intended to be a reminder that although you don't control all of life's events, you do get to decide how you process your day. You can manage your days in order to get the best out of life. After reading this forty-entry guide, you will know how to pull the good out of challenging moments and live free of internal chaos, even in the midst of external struggle.
