"Few people knew Abraham Lincoln until the Civil War showed his character. Robinson Crusoe was written while Daniel Defoe was in prison. Beethoven was almost completely deaf and burdened with deep sorrow when he produced his greatest works. When God wants to educate someone, he does not send them to the school of graces but to the school of necessities." John C Maxwell. That is exactly what This day Matters is meant to reveal. "Just as every element serves a purpose to the functionality of the universe. Every day, good or bad, provides a purpose to the fulfillment of our lives." Matthew d'Esterre I think it is fair to say, if we each had a choice, every single one of us would choose to have all good days filled with adventure, love and joy. versus having bad days filled with challenges, suffering and despair. That is human nature, our brains have methods of evaluation, our bodies are wired with instics and whether it's for survival, thrival or deprival, the common choice is typically good over bad. The truth is that good and bad are equivalent. Especially in regards to our daily lives and the growth process of humanity. Authenticity would not exist without the bad, nor would good ever be noticed, acknowledged or appreciated without it as well. This day Matters will walk you through a common life and provide examples of how our lives require the bad days, and the good days, and how they partake in an overall equation equalizing in preparedness, wisdom, and fulfillment. The chapters are labeled with "keys" to a WONDER-FUL LIFE.
