Midnight Motivations and Musings… 25

We over plan for tomorrow, yet today has been left with so many gaps unfilled.

How do you guarantee that you have tomorrow at hand?

Did you use your today to the best of it’s ability? Note that I said, ‘it’s ability, not your ability.’

Remember that each day that passes is forever lost to us.

Therefore, in all that you do; work, play, rest, love, care, share and the rest of things humans do, do it to the best of your ability and the full capacity of your day.

Our lives are only worth what we make of it and it’s not the length of one’s days that really matter, but the depth of how they lived.

  2. Indeed sis, I was just reflecting in my thoughts of how “living in the moment” is so important. If we don’t rejoice in the present, we lose a blessing. We are to have joy and peace irrespective of the storm but all too often people don’t want to do what they need to in order to receive the peace and joy (i.e., therapy, meds, exercise). There’s always a “present” in living in the moment. Blessings and have a fun-filled weekend! Emma

  5. I often say that the reason I’m good at what I do is because I’m fully there. I often can’t remember things in the not so distant past and my planning is generally done during my transition times (driving, waiting, etc.) I try to keep an eye out for the small beautiful things that God puts in my path! These are what make life worth living!

  8. It is sad to think of a day being gone forever after it passes. It reminds me of a story told about Titus, said to be one of the better Roman Emperors. His Wikipedia entry puts it like this:

    “As Emperor he became known for his generosity, and Suetonius states that upon realising he had brought no benefit to anyone during a whole day he remarked, ‘Friends, I have lost a day.'”

  10. Jacqueline I love the quote, but you know what they say since you quoted it: “Yesterday is gone, tomorrow hasn’t arrived, but today is a gift which is why we call it the present” enjoy your Sunday xo
