Today is a gift. Perhaps the greatest gift you will ever get. It's new every morning. What we do with today is what matters the most. Why? Because tomorrow is just a promise, yesterday is gone.

Today is the real deal. The earlier we recognise that, the much better for ourselves. The more we do nothing about today, the more we are feeding any fears that we might be having to unprecedented heights.

But when we use today properly, we are developing courage instead. We are growing in stature. Listen to this.

The most interesting thing about our days is that today is always forgotten in that it passes, and tomorrow is always remembered in that it always will be there.

However, we want to do things tomorrow and yet we ignore today. Incidentally, we have no power over tomorrow that we always look forward to, but the today that is going to pass, where we have power to decide and act is always ignored.

That's the conundrum in life. However, whenever we take action and make decisions for today, we get massive benefits, even if we were afraid and unprepared to do so. Listen to this.

At times we are afraid of moving forward. So we postpone taking action or making decisions. At the back of our minds, we hope that tomorrow will be a better bet.

Maybe we might be better prepared tomorrow or the environment might be more conducive then. For the most part though, that better day never really arrives.

That is why we have to be crazy enough to use today even of we are still ill prepared. When we finally do get moving regardless of how we feel about it, there are greater benefits to it as compared to sitting back and wishing for better days. Listen to this.

"Today Matters" is not just a great admonition, it is also a book title. Perhaps the most forgotten of days is always the one we are present in.

For some reason, we think that a better day is ahead. We encourage one another with such words. We even quote scriptures and compose songs.

"My tomorrow will be greater than today". There is a place for that. However, what's wrong with today? Isn't the day that we already have, the gift of today, the most potent and powerful of all days?

Don't we have it here already and have some level of control in terms of the decisions we can make and the actions we can take about it? Listen to this.

When we are waiting, time keeps moving but probably nothing changes in us. Especially if we have anxiety as we wait. Waiting can be a very retrogressive way of growth.

I know it sounds weird especially when scripture asks us to "wait". There is something much, much more powerful than waiting that we should be doing each waking day.

If you are looking for the alignment of your ducks and for favor and for the moment of breakthrough, you realise soon enough that you have a part to play in it. You realize that waiting is not what you need to do.

Preparation is what's needed. The man who is preparing himself finds opportunities easier than the man who is waiting for all to be aligned before he moves. Listen to this.
