Today Is The Day

10 months have rolled by and now we are starting the 11^th month of the year. I don’t know about you, but for me it is a bit difficult to remember how January, February, March etc. were. Was I happy all through those months? Did I achieve my goals? Did I feel fulfilled? Did I make any marked progress in my career, academics, marriage, relationships, business and finances? Do I have any success stories for any of these months?

The year is almost ended and now I ask myself what I did with 2012. Where did all the days and months go? Did I live it just like last year and the years before? So many questions and am sure a lot more are probably going through your head right now. 

It seemed only like yesterday when we were all saying, happy New Year, and now it almost time to say another one. It seemed only like yesterday when we declared what this year was going to be for us “Honour”, “My year of goodness”, “My year of double blessings” etc. Very soon we would be putting together the words to describe how 2013 would be. 

Do we actually live a year or do we live a day. All we ever and will always have is a day. The day makes the week, which makes the month, which makes the year. It does not matter how many years we live on earth, all we truly live is a day. Therefore it is what we make of our day that makes our year. 

We have 365 days in a year to make that year what we want it to be. We have 365 days to make those changes, break those habits, build and improve those relationships, improve our career, make our home and marriage better, build and grow ourselves spiritually, work diligently and give our best etc. Yes you have the year 2012, but what you truly have is 365 days to see and live what you want the year to be, and of these 365 days all you ever have at once is one day. 

This means, if:

You want progress, success, productivity, advancement and fruitfulness you only have today to make it happen.

You want to live a happy life, live a happy today.

You want to have a successful life and year, live a successful today.

You want to grow more in your knowledge and fellowship with God, start today.

You want to start saving and investing, today is all you have.

You want a better marriage, then today is all you have to make it right.

You want to forgive, today is the day.

You want to live for God and serve God, then today is the day.

Don’t misguide yourself to think I have the whole year to do and achieve all I need to. Am sorry to disappoint you, but NO, you do not. All you have is TODAY, because at the end of the year what counts and matter most are not the goals you set at the beginning year, but the things you did daily to achieve those goals.

Before 2012 ends, we still have November and December, approximately 61 days. It is never too late to live the year you wanted. Live today like the year you wanted. Live happy and joyful today. The day has already been blessed by God and his mercy and goodness are already packed full for the day, all you need to do is take hold of them and start living the year and life you desire.

Shalom,

You are made for MORE!
