In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to get swept away by the demands and challenges that come our way. However, amidst the chaos, taking a moment to pause and reflect can be incredibly powerful. This is where the concept of a "Thought of the Day" comes into play. More than just a fleeting notion, a thought of the day serves as a beacon of inspiration, guiding us through our journey with wisdom, positivity, and purpose.
The Significance of Daily Inspiration:
Every morning, as the sun rises and a new day dawns, we are presented with a fresh opportunity to shape our reality. However, the way we start our day often sets the tone for the hours that follow. By embracing a thought of the day, we infuse our mornings with intentionality and positivity, laying the groundwork for a fulfilling day ahead.
A thought of the day acts as a mental anchor, grounding us in the present moment and reminding us of what truly matters. Whether it's a profound quote, a thought-provoking idea, or a personal mantra, this daily dose of inspiration serves as a gentle nudge towards growth, resilience, and gratitude.
The Power of Positive Affirmations:
At the heart of the "Thought of the Day" ritual lies the power of positive affirmations. Affirmations are statements that we repeat to ourselves, affirming our beliefs, goals, and values. When crafted thoughtfully, these affirmations have the ability to reprogram our subconscious mind, reshaping our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
By incorporating positive affirmations into our daily routine, we cultivate a mindset of abundance and possibility. Instead of dwelling on limitations and setbacks, we focus on our strengths and potential. Over time, this shift in perspective can lead to profound transformations in various aspects of our lives, including our relationships, careers, and overall well-being.
Choosing the Right Thought of the Day:
The beauty of a thought of the day lies in its versatility and personalization. There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to selecting the perfect daily inspiration. Instead, it's important to choose thoughts that resonate with our individual values, aspirations, and challenges.
Some may find solace in timeless wisdom from renowned philosophers and spiritual leaders, while others may draw inspiration from their own experiences and reflections. Whether it's a simple reminder to practice gratitude or a profound insight into the nature of resilience, the key is to choose thoughts that uplift and empower us on our journey.
Incorporating the Ritual into Daily Life:
Integrating the "Thought of the Day" ritual into our daily routine doesn't require elaborate rituals or extravagant gestures. Instead, it's about carving out a few moments of quietude amidst the chaos of everyday life. Whether it's during our morning coffee, a brief pause before diving into work, or a moment of reflection before bed, finding the time to connect with our chosen thought is essential.
One effective way to incorporate this ritual is by creating a dedicated space for reflection. This could be a journal where we jot down our thoughts and insights, a vision board adorned with inspiring quotes and images, or a digital playlist filled with uplifting affirmations and meditations. By making this practice a visible and tangible part of our environment, we reinforce its importance and ensure that it remains a priority in our lives.
The Ripple Effect of Daily Inspiration:
As we embark on our journey of self-discovery and personal growth, the impact of a thought of the day extends far beyond our individual sphere. Like ripples in a pond, the positive energy and wisdom that we cultivate through this practice have the power to touch the lives of those around us.
Whether it's through our words, actions, or mere presence, we become beacons of inspiration and hope for others. By embodying the principles of kindness, compassion, and authenticity, we create a ripple effect of positivity that reverberates throughout our communities and beyond.
In a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain, the "Thought of the Day" ritual serves as a guiding light, illuminating our path with wisdom, inspiration, and purpose. By embracing daily affirmations and reflections, we empower ourselves to navigate life's challenges with resilience, gratitude, and grace.
As we embark on this journey of self-discovery and personal growth, let us remember the profound impact that a single thought can have on our lives and the lives of those around us. With each new day comes an opportunity to cultivate a mindset of abundance and possibility, one thought at a time.

To Give Your Last Twenty
He walks oddly, shuffling and nearly tripping down the hallway toward his apartment door. I slow my pace, allowing my neighbor— a stuffy ex-marine with one missing tooth and a strong odor of liquor and two weeks' worth of unwashed stench always accompanying him—to reach his door. I crinkle my nose, nearly gagging as he dawdles ahead.

Six Feet Under
Buried alive. What a horrible way to go. Yazz lay there, in her own thoughts. What else could she do? She was hungry, thirsty, tired, mentally, and physically exhausted, and more than anything, she was bored. She hoped she would die of boredom before anything else, anything else would've been more painful. Like many people had, she and her friends had talked about what they reckon the worst ways to die were, it was a morbid subject, but it came up every now and again. Yazz had always been one to argue her point on drowning, others had mentioned burning alive, slowly and painfully bleeding to death, hung drawn and quartered, and being starved to death. It was strange that none of them had considered being buried alive, it had never come up. But now, she was thinking back to those conversations her and her friends had had, how could they have not thought about it? It took a lot longer than the others, you were completely confined, you couldn't move or do anything, you just had to wait, until your body was physically unable to support a life system anymore, which could take up to four days. Four! By far the longest out of all of them. She recounted some of these conversations just to try and pass the time, anything to pass the time. It was difficult to know how much time had passed since she had been underground, it was difficult to know anything. There were many things that Yazz didn't know, she didn't know where she was, she didn't know how she'd got into the coffin, she'd just woken up there. Yazz also didn't know what time it was, or even what day it was, she guessed at Tuesday, it was Sunday evening when she'd been buried alive, intentionally, and although it had felt like weeks had passed, she was still alive, which means she hadn't died from dehydration, and therefore it couldn't have been more than four days.
