Take A Day At A Time
We want to be in control of the things around us. As such, we worry sometimes about the mistakes we made in the past and how we could have done better and also worry about the future and what we hope to achieve in it. Taken over by our worries, we neglect the best gift we ever had, right now. Now, today and the present moment is all that you have to make all that you need to come true.
What goal and plan do you wish to accomplish and what percentage of today are you putting towards making that goal a reality? Know that time is the most important asset you can ever have and the most important time you have is now. The best way to use that time is to allocate it to the things that would push your overall goal forward. Understand that putting in some effort towards making your goal achievable does not always mean spending the whole day on the tasks. It usually just means spending the smallest time possible towards making the goal happen.
Can you spend a minimum of 10 minutes today making that goal a reality? You do not have to achieve all the goals at once. All you need is a little time today to push forward. I have realized that by spending just a few minutes every morning, I have been able to write more articles this month than the last two months simply by spending a few minutes every day on my articles. And you would be surprised at the results achieved when you take it a day at a time.
Sometimes, because we cannot see the entire results at once, we usually do not think it matters. But it matters that we put in as much effort as possible a day at a time. And when you do, one day, you would appreciate yourself for what you have done. A day at a time matters and when you want to put in a task for a day, ensure to put it at a specific time in the day, so that you already are aware of whether you are achieving the task or not even before the day ends. Most times, we do not have the task planned within the day and that is why the day passes without us realizing.
But once you know what part of the day you need to achieve a task, you know deep down whether your day is going well or not. If I refuse to complete my article before starting the day, I know that the day is already not going as planned and I do everything I can within the day to get it right. So no matter what you do, start the day with a set of tasks that move you closer to your goals no matter how little the time spent is.
It matters that we follow our goals every day because even when other things in our lives are not going as planned, we know deep down that at least our goals are going according to plan. And that is enough to give us the strength to keep pushing. So do not worry too much about what has passed or what is coming in the future, be content that you have done the best that you can with what you have right now.
Take a day at a time and you would be glad you did. It really does pay. Thanks and God bless.
