Lifebuilder’s Creed

Posted On November 15, 2005 | Written by Emmanuel Oluwatosin

I was reading John Maxwell’s Today Matters and came across a poem which I decided to duplicate below…

Today is the most important day of my life.
Yesterday with its successes and victories,
struggles and failures is gone forever.
The past is past.
Done.
Finished.
Ii cannot relive it. I cannot go back and change it.
But I will learn from it and improve my TODAY.

Today. This moment. NOW.
It is God’s gift to me and it is all that I have.

Tomorrow with all its joy and sorrows,
triumphs and troubles isnt here yet.
Indeed, tomorrow may never come.
Therefore, I will not worry about tomorrow.

Today is what God has entrusted to me.
It is all that I have. I will do my best in it.
I will demonstrate the best of me in it –
my character, giftedness, and abilities –
to my family and friends, clients and associates.

I will identify those things that are most important to do Today,
and those things I will do until they are done.
And when this day is done
I will look back with satisfaction at that
which I have accomplished.
Then, and only then, will I plan my tomorrow,
Looking to improve upon Today, with God’s help.

Then I shall go to sleep in peace…

Lessons learnt? Value your Today. Today is the only resouces you have now and therefore, do everything to make it count. Past (whether successful or full of failures) is gone forever and tomorrow is still in the future. So, why do disturb yourself with what you can do little about 🙁 This is food for thought…
