TODAY MATTERS II

Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.
~ Buddha

Today is only one day in all the days we will ever see, but what we do today will determine what will happen in all the other days. So everyday offers you a chance to change your life.

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.

The peasant learned what many of us never understand! Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition. You would never be able to see the opportunities today got to offer, if you haven’t made up your mind to make it count. Do something today that your future self will thank you for.
Let me show you 7 key things you need to do on daily bases to have a fulfilling life.

7 Things You Should Do Daily

1) See the Day as your Chance to Make Things Right,/b>: it doesn’t matter who you used to be, what matters is who you are today. Start living the way you feel it’s right to live, get more closer to God, put new effort towards achieving your dreams, stop a bad habit ; just do something that is good.
2) Never Leave for Tomorrow what could be Done Today: it may sound trite, but today is all you have. You can depend on tomorrow because it is not within your power.
3) Have a Plan of How You want to Spend your Day: the only way to be in control of your time is planning your day. Put on paper when you wake up what you want to achieve for the day, work on your plan and you will experience a highly fulfilling day.
4) Read for at Least an Hour Daily: you can never be better than your level of knowledge will allow. Someone said, “You are either studious or stupid in life.” You can not be known if you don’t know; knowledge is a principal thing.
5) Do Something that will Enhances your Dream(s) in Life: do you have a dream? You are a day closer to it today. Turn those dreams into reality by acting on them daily. Ask yourself daily, “what do I need to do today that will take me further in pursuit of my dream(s).
6) Put Smile on the Face of Someone: happiness is a seed. When you make others happy, you open for yourself also doors of happiness. To stay happy and smiling, sow the seed by making someone smile. Help a needy, or make a love one feel very important or cared for; do something t

g your eyes to see opportunities around you need to exploit for a major turn around in your life.
