I remember several years ago I was taking a lesson from my music teacher. And he said, “Every time you play the piece, you play it differently”. “This is not an assignment,” he said, “this is a statement, and your job is to find out how different and why.”
The reason I brought it up is that I hear many people making a statement like, “Just another day.. same-o, same-o.”
When you wake up in the morning and look outside, do you see the same picture? Do you hear the same sounds? It is possible, if you window is just 3 feet away from a brick wall, and is completely sound proof.
It is also possible if you built an imaginary wall around yourself, and you simply don’t see the surrounding World. Because I don’t believe it is possible to have two identical days, or even two identical seconds. Clouds will be different. Birds will be different. Flies, butterflies, bugs, crickets will all be different. My friends, every moment is unique, unless you are staring at the imaginary wall around yourself.
Look at the World…
Take a deep breath…
Smile…
Find at least 10 differences between yesterday and today. When we start paying attention to where we are, when we become mindful of what we see, what we hear and what we do, life becomes very interesting very quick.
I hope y’all find this day unique, just like I do. What makes it unique for you? Think about it for a few moments.

PEACE!
Jin
