Got two minutes? So does Dave Anderson. Let's rant.

Welcome to the game to your life. I'm Dave Anderson. It's time for our Friday.

Two-minute warning edition, posted on Fridays to give you something to think about watch for or do.

Doing is really good.

To finish your week strong and maximize your weekend, I will also include an occasional red zone rant, and that happens today.

My topic today is there are no throwaway days.

I find it a bit astonishing how many people approach a day with such disrespect as to act as though it doesn't matter.

They disrespect their day, their life, their maker, and the opportunities within each day by just going through the motions. Are you kidding me?

Listen, your attitude at the beginning of a day greatly determines what you get out of it.

And if it's just another day or let me just get through it, if that's what it is, what can you

really expect to get out of it? I'll tell you what, nothing. If it's just, let's work hard and

see what happens with no real plan, no real purpose, no real objectives. Now, how do you think that's going to work out for you, especially over the course of a lifetime? If your mindset at the beginning of the day is just doing what you're comfortable with or selfishly just what's good for you, how do you think that's going to impact those closest to you in your life, your family,

friends, teammates, co-workers, and it doesn't matter how tough, how much you're dreading what

you've got to do that day. The same attitude at the outset sets the tone for either making

those things worse or making something positive come from them because even during the toughest

days, listen up, you have a chance to get stronger,

wise, or better to make a difference and to help someone else. Stop disrespecting your life by

approaching a day like it doesn't matter. Someday it might be the sweat of your deathbed that wakes

you up to the fact that it did matter. They all mattered. And at that point, you give anything to have one

of those throwaway days back, but it'd be too late. The game changer life is not about getting

through days, but getting from days. Keep that in mind. No throwaway days. And remember this,

you may not be able to add years to your life, but you can add life to your years.
