What would help you view today as the greatest day of your life? If today you have a greater awareness of your immense intrinsic value than ever before, then today is the greatest day of your life. If today you decide to upgrade your character beyond ways that you have done before, then today is the greatest day of your life. If today you make goals and plans that go beyond previous goals and plans, then today is the greatest day of your life.
If today you have a greater spiritual awareness and feel more connected with the Creator than ever before, then today is the greatest day of your life.
-from Rabbi Zelig Pliskin’s book Happiness,p.105
