The One Thing

Today I will do one thing I don’t want to do

It might not be a big thing to you

It might not even be a big thing to me

 

It might be a call that scares me

It could be finishing a project I started a month ago

It could be taking out the trash

 

It probably won’t be balancing the check book, but it probably should

It could be finishing a resume

It might be signing up for a class

 

I may play soccer with my daughter

It could be a date with my wife

It probably won’t be watching TV but I wish it was

 

I hope the one thing starts a revolution but I would be happy with evolution

Today I will do one thing that I think is a good idea but I convinced myself I don’t have the time or energy to do

Today I will do one thing that might change how I feel about me in this moment

 

One thing that may save a life

One thing that could save mine

One thing that could make my life just a little more stress free

 

Today the one thing, the one small thing, that I know I should

Today the one thing that I keep putting off

That one thing does not even need to be a big thing

 

It just needs to be one thing

Just ONE THING today I don’t want to do that could change a life

Maybe not now, but a thousand one things later
