Volume 11, Issue 19: Make Today Your Masterpiece

I had an "aha" moment two weeks ago while listening to John Maxwell's "Today Matters" audio book. How would I carry myself today for it to be a masterpiece? What kind of day would be a masterpiece for me?

That would be the day I get out of bed on time, start my walk on time after my quiet time. Complete my workout on time, have my full hour of reading before the start of work day. Write at lunch break. Eat right. Have a family dinner. Converse and play with my family. Go to bed on time.

How often do I have such days?

What if I only needed to have such days just for one day? Can I do it for one day? Can I repeat that day over and over again?

If this is how I want to live, what's keeping me from living this way? Why do I keep falling short? What's the remedy to my shortcomings on this?

I can do this with God's help. I can make today my masterpiece, and so can you. You don't have to wait for a perfect day to live out your best day. You can do it today.

If today were the last day I had to live, would I make it my masterpiece? My answer to that question is a resounding "Yes". I would make today my masterpiece. I would overlook the offense. I would have the conversations, listen attentively. I would give generously. I would read and write.

How about you? What kind of day would be a masterpiece for you? What's keeping you from living that way?

For His Glory,
