Live unanchored, Today

​Our identity is not anchored to our best or our worst moments. We live in between them.

It's powerful to know that.

How much of my life do I spend letting success tell me I'm better than I think I am, or letting failure tell me I'm the biggest louse ever?

How much of my life do I get consumed with pursuing goals that will show the world I'm great, and how much of my life do I spend hiding in the basement because a bad day or a mistake told me I belong there?

Some days that feels like the balancing act of life.

We spend life trying to undo or recover from moments that didn't go so well, or chasing a dream we think will forever put the low moments in life behind us.

But we live in today. And today is the in between.

In between the good days and the bad days.

In between the mistakes and the atta boys.

In between I wish I didn't do that and someday I'll show them all.

I don't know what kind of day today will be for you, but I know it deserves all of your attention. It doesn't need to be wasted on trying to undo your worst day or dreaming of your best day.

You are not anchored to yesterday or to tomorrow.

You are fully alive, today. Fully capable. Not your worst day and not your best day.

You are simply you. The today you.

And what a powerful thing it is to know that I have a lot of say in who the today me will be.

Live unanchored.

Today.
