Make each day your masterpiece.
In other words, how would you spend today if it were the one day by which your entire life would be judged?
This is something I make a genuine effort to keep in mind every single day of my life.
What would I write if I knew I only had one shot at making a difference in someone’s life?
How would I spend the next hour with my four year old son if I knew it was the only hour he’d remember from his childhood when he was an adult?
How would I spend this evening with my wife if it were the last evening we would spend together?How would I spend my money today if I knew that today spoke financially for the rest of my days?
Would I hold my temper? Would I stop being such a slob? Would I set a good example? Would I not worry what the neighbors thought and just run through the sprinkler in my clothes, laughing with my children? Would I make a perfectly delicious, tasty meal and smile at my daughter across the dinner table – or would I just throw a box of Tuna Helper out there?
Every single day, we’re making an impact on the people around us. The people we love. The people we merely like. The people we will never directly know. Even on ourselves – our future health and happiness and relationships and skills and finances.
Every single day, we have a chance to really make all of those things shine – or we can buy a sack full of double cheeseburgers and sit in the basement all evening watching Seinfeld reruns.
Today is really the only day that matters. You can’t make your past self do anything. You can’t make your future self do anything, either. Your only freedom of choice is right now, and thus today is your one chance to paint your masterpiece.
What are you going to do today to make it your masterpiece?

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind“Action Step”
T. Harv Eker’s Secrets of the Millionaire Mind“Action Step” Newsletter
From the desk of T. Harv Eker . . .
Money is a result. Wealth is a result. Health is a result. Illness is a result. They all come from your mental blueprint. It’s a blueprint that was created long ago in childhood and it’s embedded deep in our subconscious minds. We were programmed from an early age. But we can re-program ourselves and change the results in our lives by following four key elements of change: awareness, understanding, disassociation and reconditioning
So in the weeks ahead, we’ll use these four elements of change to transform your money blueprint. I’ll be giving you Action Steps that cover all three of the primary ways we were conditioned in the first place: Verbal Programming, Modeling and Specific Incidents.
I’ll also give you Action Steps to help engrain in your minds the way Rich people think versus the poor and middle class.
Let’s start with Millionaire Mind Action Step #1:
Verbal Programming
All of us were given verbal messages about money as we were growing up. “Money is the root of all evil.” “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” “What am I? Made of money?” “Rich people are greedy.” Even phrases such as “Filthy rich” or “Stinking rich” have a profoundly negative influence on our money blueprint. These four actions can change your verbal programming and change your financial life forever.
Action #1 - Awareness:
Write down all the statements you heard about money, wealth, and rich people when you were young.
Action #2 - Understanding:Write down how you believe these statements have affected your financial life so far.
Action #3 - Disassociation:Can you see that these thoughts represent only what you learned and are not who you are? They’re just not part of your anatomy. Can you see that you have a choice in the present moment to be different?
Action #4 - Declaration:
Place your hand over your heart and say… “What I heard about money isn’t necessarily true. I choose to adopt new ways of thinking that support my happiness and success.”
Touch your head and say… “I have a millionaire mind!”
Good job.
Now practice this principle over the next 30 days and watch your mind, thoughts and financial life transform.
