“Today’s a New Day”
I love the story of Disney’s Chicken Little. Chicken Little, no matter his size is an inspiration to children, and I have to admit that I love his positive attitude. He has it pretty rough with restrictions, teasing, and ultimately he’s always trying to show his father how to prove himself.
Yet, Chicken Little always says, “Today is a new day.” He puts his hurts aside, and hurdles forward thinking that there will be some resolve in his new day.
Most of the time it works for him. Now, he does confront the issues that bother him, as all people need to; however, he remains positive about every day. He does prove to people his worth, his ability regardless of his size; and he always has a positive attitude. He influences his friends, his father, and ultimately the audience watching the movie to see that when you have a positive attitude, and realize that today is a new day with excellent opportunities, you can be successfull and have joy.
I know most of us don’t have this logic, because we worry about our children, our jobs, etc. But, think of how beautiful it will be if we can all think of starting today with a fresh slate. Today can be a new day.
