Life is made up of days and
hours.
How do you spend the 24 hours in
your day?
Do you live like a mere passive
spectator allowing your days to slip by as if you get older
?
Or do you take care of your days
and thereby your life, like a champion who is in control of
his game?
Is your day a part of your
life or just another day in your life?
As you spend the day, do you
think you are moving closer to your goals or feel that you just did
nothing ?
Remember, each day must in some
way contribute to your over all goals.
Each day must in some way be
connected to the rest of your life.
Each day must in some way should
contribute to your general welfare and
happiness.
Remember, if you take care of your
days you will take care of your life.
Are you conscious of how you are
spending each day? Do you plan your daily
activities?
If you are doing it already, it is
great. You are on your way to success. But if you are not doing it
for one reason or the other, perhaps the following suggestions may
help you to formulate your daily plans. Remember ultimately it is
you who has to take decisions about your life and
activities.
-
Wake up
early
-
Start the day with some positive
thoughts. Use positive affirmations if
necessary.
-
Express gratitude for every
thing that has been happening in your
life.
-
Affirm your faith in God and in
your self.
-
Make a resolution to perform at
least three kind acts during the day.
-
Select the most important task
for the day and resolve to do it as perfectly as
possible.
-
Greet your family members with a
warm smile and send them your thoughts of love
silently.
-
Chose your food carefully,
eating only that which do not cause indigestion or
flatulence.
-
Spend some time in prayer or
total silence.
-
Resolve to spend some quality
time with your family members sometime during the
day.
-
Try to learn something new
during the day, either about your job, yourself, some new word or
skill or some new subject.
-
Find time to perform some tasks
that contribute towards achieving your life's primary
goals.
-
Spend sometime in serious
reading to stretch your mind and improve your
thinking.
-
Review the days performance as
you close the day. Note the areas where you performed
satisfactorily and the areas where you need improvement. Can you
recollect the happiest moments of the day? Can you summarize what
you have learned newly during the day? Think and
analyze.
-
If you are interested or if you
have time you can maintain a dairy. and write down the important
events of the day.
-
Take adequate
rest.
-
Look for tomorrow with a
positive mind.
-
And finally consider the
following:
If the average life span of a
person is 100 years, he has 36500 days only to live. Of this at
least for 5000 days (say from the age of 85 onwards) he would be too
old to undertake any exerting activity. From the remaining 31500
days subtract the number of days you have already spent. How many
days are then left in your account? And how do you propose to spend
them? Just think about
it. |
