Memorable Moments

What do you remember about yesterday? Is there a moment or an event that comes to mind? Did you do something you like to remember? I'm guessing that most people would answer that question with, "I don't know." or "Same old things." If you are one of them then you have some work to do on creating your extraordinary life.

The things we remember don't have to be monumental, nor does our entire day need to be noteworthy. But if days keep rolling by with nothing happening worth remembering then we probably aren't creating our extraordinary life.

My memories from yesterday are going on a couple errands and creating an advertising coupon for ReclaimU.com. Yes, I said errands. The whole family piled in the car and rode out to Tractor Supply. I grew up in the suburbs and didn't even know about Tractor Supply so my girls were thrilled to show it to me (they fell in love with the store when they realized they could buy the horse models they love and they could buy tack and treats for real horses too). It was one of those simple moments in life that are worth remembering because we were just enjoying being together as a family.

And yes, I said creating a coupon. Why do I remember this? Because I was having fun and I was so excited about ReclaimU and what is happening there. This time was great because I was enjoying my work so much.

Your memorable days and memorable moments don't have to be major. They don't have to be newsworthy, but they do have to be memorable to you. Whether it's some time spent talking to an old friend, a view you saw on the way home from work or having your business featured on the news, big or small, create your extraordinary life one memorable moment at a time.
