M&M's: All or Nothing Day-July 26th


All or Nothing Day - July 26th
You're probably wondering what the heck 'All or Nothing Day' is about. Have you ever heard that expression 'Today is the first day of the rest of your life?' This is the day to give something your all or don't even bother. It's the day to take a chance for once & do something you've always wanted to do, but haven't. Even if it goes wrong or you end up failing - at least you tried! It's the 'day' you live like it's your last.

How to Observe it
So what are some of the things you should be giving your all? Take a minute to think about the things you would regret not doing if you were gone tomorrow. It's the day to say, 'I love you,' apologize or forgive an old friend & smile. Spend more time with your family, wear pink or practice like you've never practiced. Do something nice for someone, express yourself, don't deny your feelings & follow your heart. Today is all about you. Some things might hurt, like letting down your guard for the day, but in the end it's worth it. Who knows what tomorrow brings. Most of all, enjoy the day.

Do you have any goals, dreams or wishes you want to accomplish?
The Bucket List is a 2007 film starring Academy Award Winners Jack Nicholson & Morgan Freeman. The main plot follows 2 terminally ill men on their road trip with a wish list of things to do before they 'kick the buckey'
Make your OWN Bucket List.
