The best way to create a great year is to experience more great months. The best way to create more great months is to experience more great weeks . The best way to create more great weeks is to experience more great days. Simple enough! Start by stringing together enough great days and before you know it, you're on your way to experience a great life no matter what the market does or whether Congress gets their act together!

So, it all starts with you having a single great day.... today! (And as you know, YOU having a great day today impacts those closest to you having great days... Spouses, siblings, children, friends, co-workers, clients, the man in the grocery store..... and so on and so on ---- which impacts those closest to them having great days... and before you know it, the world is having great day!) So change the world by having a great day!

What's the secret weapon to experiencing your version of a great day?

1. Well, it starts with asking yourself to think of the last time you had a great day. (Don't think about a vacation day, or special day.. just an ordinary work day kind of day.) Do you have one in mind?

2. What three things did you DO that day that made it a great day? (Not things that just happened to you, things you can't control types of things like getting a big sale or winning the lottery or being invited to appear on American Idol types of things... Just things that you did that day.) What did you DO that day?

3. Write those three things down and put them somewhere where you will see them... today... and tomorrow.... and the the next day...

4. Tell someone else about the three things you DO when you experience a great day.

5. Do those three things today.... and tomorrow.... and the next day....

You will discover is that your best days are the days where you accomplish all three! Awesome! Three stars! When you only do two: A good day. When you do one: passable. When you don't do any of these things: Not too good. : (

This SIMPLE idea is life-changing and great day producing! : )

The very fact that I just wrote this blog today helps me move toward a great day. Now, just one more "to - do" and I'm there!

Have a great day! And a great week! And a great month! And a great year! And a great life!
