I want to remind you that today will be gone soon. It only comes around once in your lifetime. You will never get it back. Only you can choose what you’ll make of it. You may not be able to choose the circumstances that will occur today but you can certainly choose how you will feel. You can choose fear or you can choose faith. You can choose love or hate, anger or joy. And the wonderful thing is, you can choose right now. You don’t have to wait for your situation to change before you can feel good. I know it sounds all New Agey but trust me, it’s truth. It’s a decision that only you can make in your mind. It’s a resolve. But you must decide to fight.Fight back against those negative thoughts that try to enter your mind. If you allow them, those thoughts will lead to feelings then emotions and eventually negative behaviors. Take charge over your mind. Don’t allow thoughts to just run rampant. Tell yourself that you’re good enough, you’re loved by God, gifted, you’re forgiven, and you’re not a failure. Don’t dwell on the things people did to hurt you or how they betrayed you. Life is as short as the width of your hand, as the blinking of an eye.God says that your life is but a moment to Him. Why spend it being miserable? Spend your moments well. Enjoy all of the blessings that you do have. Eat, drink and be merry! Give yourself the gift of joy today for soon it will be tomorrow and tomorrow is not promised.
