Every new day is a gift

Listen the first key point
00:00
00:00
When you wake up every morning, do you lament the fact that you have to get out of your comfortable bed, or do you take pleasure in the fact that you have 24 brand new hours in front of you? Not everyone is granted another 24 hours to be on Earth and be with their loved ones, and the fact that you have is a true gift. However, how you choose to spend those hours is a personal choice which has the ability to give you a happy and peaceful day and, for those around you, or a thoroughly miserable one.
Every day you wake up is a gift — you have another 24 hours to live.
Thich Nhat Hanh suggests opening your eyes and becoming more aware of what is around you. You do not have to look too far to see a beautiful sky or sunset, and you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own street to see someone’s smile. It’s about how open you are to see these things or whether you allow them to pass you by.

Most of us are very good at planning for the future, dedicating x number of years to studying for a degree or saving up furiously for a vacation in a few months. Still, we’re not very good at living here and now and basically remembering to live a little. It’s vital that you stop living in the past, stop worrying about the future, and start living in the here and now if you want to be happy, healthy and if you want to achieve inner peace. Mindfulness will allow you to do that, shifting your focus to the things that matter in life – the very moment you’re in.
We are very good at planning for the future, but not very good at remembering to enjoy the moment we’re in.
Of course, it’s important to plan for the future; otherwise, you’d never achieve the goals you have in life, but you need to come back to the present moment if you want to find true peace and joy.

Did you know? The definition of mindfulness is “a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment.”
second key point

Smiling is the key to inner peace and happiness

Starting each day with a smile sets the tone for the following 24 hours and affirms your intention to live with awareness and peace.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
