It’s a New Day, and a New Week


Pause • Reflect • Sundays on Pianodao
Written by ANDREW EALES


An inspirational quote to start the new week. And while you read, you might also enjoy this original, hope-filled piano composition from a while ago…

Here’s the quote – very simple, but have a good think about each sentence before skipping ahead…

The writer talks about a “New Day”, but at the start of the week perhaps we can apply it to the “New Week” with even more benefit!

“Every morning means a fresh start on things.
If yesterday was trying and exhausting,
today is a given opportunity to do something different.
If yesterday was full of triumph and satisfaction,
today is a free chance to go further.
All too often we wake up, think of our schedules,
and assume that we must act according to the same dull script.
We need not.
If we find what is unique to each day, we will have freshness and the greatest fulfillment possible.”

Deng Ming-Dao,  365 Tao Daily Meditations (1992, Harper Collins)

Have a unique and wonderful day – and week ahead!
