My friend Copan thinks Monday is the best day of the week. No kidding. Every week, rain or shine, hell or high water, he’ll send a Tweet out to the masses with a ,“THANK GOD IT’S MONDAY,” attached to it with some sort of excited GIF and encouraging message.
And I absolutely love this.
For so long, Monday’s have gotten a bad wrap. After all, they’re the start of the work week, which brings along waking up early, grinding on projects for eight hours, long commutes, stress, so on and so forth. But I think Copan may be on to something. While it’s true, Monday is the start of the work week, it’s also the start to a lot of other greatness too.
I was asking Copan about his perspective on his Mondays and how he seems to be one of the most positive people I know, and he spoke some truth into me that I needed to be reminded of: Any day of the week, Monday included, is the start of new opportunities. Opportunities to do good and experience greatness, while Monday’s alone signal the start to all our weeks have to offer.
Sure, that meeting at 3p on Tuesday may be something you’re dreading, but at least you have a job. And what about dinner on Tuesday night with all your friends and that a new episode of your favorite show comes out on Thursday? Oh, and there’s going to be a great basketball game on Wednesday night too.
Thank God for Mondays. Thank God for fresh starts. Thank God for opportunities.
