Muir’s Morning Motivational Minute

‘Be willing to be a new beginner every single morning.’

Sometimes inspiration appears in the strangest places. This morning, like all mornings, I was at the local convenience store getting my daily shot of caffeine – my kick-starter. A lady was checking out in front of me and she was talking to the cashier, a young man in his early 20s. She must have known him because she called him by name. She was kidding him asking him if he “was pushing all the right buttons this morning” on the cash register where he deals with gas/lottery etc. He laughed and said ‘no’ and said he had to ‘clear’ the register and start all over again a couple of times.

Perhaps my mind works a little differently, but I immediately thought of how life is just like that conversation. There is not a day goes by that we all ‘hit the right buttons.’ Sometimes we say the wrong thing, we’re quick to anger, we’re negative, we lean toward bitterness and resentment. But the beauty is that, just like the young man who had to clear the register, we also have the ability, through Jesus Christ, to clear our own personal register and start all over again.

Remember, nobody can make a brand new start, but everybody has the option to make a brand new ending. And you can start this day, this hour, this minute and hit the ‘clear’ button.

God’s blessings to you on this day! Have a great Thursday and a blessed day!
