I recently had the pleasure of meeting an elderly man who gave me a piece of advice that has stuck with me.
We were discussing his past and everything he has accomplished when he stopped mid-sentence & said, “I have had a great life. Do you know why?”
I asked, “Why, what’s your secret?”
He responded with, “I have lived every day like it’s a Saturday, and you should too.”
Since our encounter, I have carried this phrase with me. This is such an inspiring thing to say.
To live life like it’s Saturday” means to embrace each day with the same carefree, relaxed, and enjoyable attitude you might typically reserve for the weekend, focusing on fun, relaxation, and making the most of the present moment.
Everyday, schedule time for activities that help you recharge and rejuvenate, whether it’s reading a book, taking a walk, or simply relaxing with a cup of tea like you do it over the weekend.
There is no need to even start your to-do list on Saturday, that’s what Sundays are for. In fact, don’t even open it on Saturday.
Saturdays are for impulse decisions. If your friends ask to take a spontaneous road trip Saturday morning, you go. You happen to wander into the mall and want to buy that pair of shoes or anything else, Go for it. Saturdays are meant for impulsive decisions, that will make the best memories & stories later.
No matter how you spend your Saturday, just make sure you live your life like it’s always a Saturday. You will find yourself having the best time of your life when you start appreciating every day of the week.
So, stop dreading Mondays and start treating them like Saturdays.
Don’t wait for the weekend to live a happy life, start living life to the fullest, treat everyday like a Saturday & stay blessed forever.
