“This is a wonderful day. I’ve never seen this one before!”

— Maya Angelou

Elizabeth Kasujja wrote an inspiring article about the impact this quote has had on making every day a wonderful one.

There are more layers in the quote…just like in anything written by Maya Angelou. Top layer: You decide to make the day wonderful.

Next layer: You’ve never seen this day before. It’s brand new. It’s not littered with the garbage of days that have gone before it. You can bring that garbage with you into the day…but you don’t have to. You can leave the past in the past and start fresh.

Even deeper layer: You’ve never seen this day or many of the things in it. The world is filled with things for you to explore, discover, and learn. How much will you grow in today’s allotted 24 hours?
