Journal Writing Prompt: One Day, One Life

By Dee · Thursday, August 18th, 2005

“One should count each day a separate life.”

~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

In your journal, think about your day today. Did you do something fantastic? Something notable? Or, was it just another “ordinary” day among many in your life?

What would happen if today was the only day of your life? What if every day was your entirety of your life?

Seperate from every other.

One life….one day only.

How would you live your day tomorrow if it was the only day of your life?

Journal Writing Prompt Bonus: Why wait for the impossible to happen? For your life to suddenly only become a day long? Why not take action right now, that will make your life tomorrow different - notable? It doesn’t have to be a big thing, a daring thing - it can be something as small as giving a smile to a tired service industry person, or paying the toll for the person behind you at the toll booth. Little things can make a huge difference.

What little thing can you do to make a huge difference tomorrow - living as if it was the only day of your life? Take a moment to write a goal of what you would like to do, and then follow up tomorrow evening with whether you accomplished your task.

Happy Journaling!
