Making Each Day Count

The Secret of your suc­cess is deter­mined by your daily agenda– John Maxwell

Okay in today’s post I will like to talk to you on the impor­tance of ‘Today’. Dr. John Maxwell wrote a book called Today Mat­ters and if you do not have a copy of that book I strongly rec­om­mend that you get it because he shares a lot of wis­dom you can apply in your daily life in order to achieve suc­cess tomorrow.

You see if we want to achieve suc­cess tomor­row, we need to take action today because what we do today is what will deter­mine what hap­pens tomor­row. Some­one once said that yes­ter­day is his­tory, tomor­row is a mys­tery but today is a gift which is why we call it the present! So what are you doing with ‘Today’.

Are you using it wisely or just going with the flow? Just allow­ing time to just fly by and take its course on its own. We need to use today wisely. Any­one who wants to achieve any­thing tomor­row will have to use the days before the tomor­row to achieve the results. We look at those Olympic Ath­letes that take the stage every 4 years and when we see a Usain Bolt or other great ath­lete, we won­der how they got so strong.

It’s all because they took advan­tage of today!! For years upon years they have been train­ing and prac­tis­ing each day for the olympics and they had to make each day count in order to become as good as they are. That’s why they become so great. It’s not because of tal­ent or abil­ity but it’s because of ded­i­ca­tion to a cause that needs to be pre­pared for each and every day and they needed to make each day count. We see the glory but we don’t know the story!!!

If some­one takes an axe and just strikes it 5 times each day on a tree, it will even­tu­ally fall down. The day that it falls down is not the great­est day but it was the com­bi­na­tion of strik­ing the tree 5 times each day that cause it to tum­ble down!!

So my ques­tion to you is what are you doing with ‘Today’. Are you using it wisely? Remem­ber that Today Mat­ters and if you want to be suc­cess­ful start tak­ing action today and each day after that and in due sea­son your ‘har­vest time’ will appear and every­one will be ask­ing them­selves how did you get to become so great and you will just sim­ply reply that ‘Today Matters’!!!
