Make your bed

So I read this article yesterday, it's about a speech from an army officer concerning why it's important to make up your bed after you get up in the morning. Here's why:

First, your bed is the place you rest after spending your day, if you get a shitty day, at least you can come home to a clean and make up bed. And you will feel better a little.

Second, when you made your bed, you have completed your first task that day. This simple act will uplift your spirit, gives you a sense of pleasure and self pride. It will boost you to get working on task no 2, no 3 and so on.

Lastly, make your bed every morning seems like a small or simple thing to do, but if you can do this small thing everyday, you'll learn to appreciate the small and simple things in life. To be grateful for what you have. 

The article makes me re-think what I do everyday. Sometimes... No a lot of times, I forgot to be grateful, I got bitter and just hated the world, However, when I rest on my clean and comfy bed, it makes me relax a little.

So this morning after I got up, I made my bed. In the afternoon when I got home, after just dropping my mom at the airport cause she had to go back to Jakarta and I got teary eyed a little, the bed that I had done this morning just made me smile.
