Welcome to The Daily Quote – a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and today is September 21st.
Whether you're still rolling out of bed or already halfway through your day, I’ve got a little something to brighten it up. It’s World Gratitude Day! The one day of the year where you can shamelessly say "thank you" for everything without people looking at you like you’ve gone a bit soft.
It's the perfect excuse to spread a little extra kindness, even if it’s just for getting that perfectly brewed cup of coffee this morning or not hitting a red light on your commute. Gratitude doesn’t always need to be for the big things – in fact, it’s the little ones that add up to make your day better, even if you don’t realize it.
In the spirit of gratitude, today's quote comes from the great Maya Angelou, who said:
“This is a wonderful day. I’ve never seen this one before.”
Let that sink in for a moment – simple, right? But wow, it's powerful. Now, think about it – every single day is unique, something we’ve never experienced before. Yet, we often go through the motions, treating today like it's just a rerun of yesterday.
But Angelou reminds us that every day holds new possibilities, new moments to appreciate, and that’s where gratitude comes in. The key to living fully is recognizing the beauty in the everyday – the chance encounters, the quiet moments, even the challenges that stretch us.
And let’s be honest, on World Gratitude Day, it’s kind of hard to ignore that message, right? It’s like the universe is saying, “Hey, take a look around!” Sure, maybe your morning didn’t go perfectly, but there's always something you can find to be thankful for, even if it's just the fact that today is a fresh start.
After all, this day – this wonderful day – has never existed before, and that alone makes it special. So, here's my challenge for you today: Try to find at least three things to be thankful for. They don't have to be life-changing, just real. The smell of fresh coffee? Yep. The quiet of your walk to work? That counts too. The fact that your neighbor's dog didn’t bark this morning? Definitely gratitude-worthy. So, as you go through your day today, remember Maya Angelou’s words – “This is a wonderful day. I’ve never seen this one before.”
Treat today like it’s something new and extraordinary, because it truly is. And while you’re at it, give a little nod to World Gratitude Day and find those small moments of joy.
Thanks for joining me on The Daily Quote. I’m Andrew McGivern, and I’m grateful to have you with me. Let’s do this again tomorrow, shall we? Until then, take care, and don’t forget – this day has never happened before, so make it count.
