Today I look back on 33 years of life that I’ll never get back…uhhh that will make you start thinking. Think about that, 33 years! That’s a long time man. Imagine how many choices have been mad in those 33 years. Imagine how many risks have been taken in those 33 years. Imagine how many conversations have taken place in that 33 years.
How many times have I acted selfish in the last 33 years? How many times have decided to think of someone else besides myself. Do I have a track record of thinking of myself more than others over the last 33 years…probably (I’m being kind to myself)…DEFINITELY. What would have changed if I would have served others more often than myself? How would it have changed my life and others if I chose kind words instead of when I chose harsh words?
A friend of mine told me that during his prayer time the other day, I was on his mind. He said God revealed to him that my best days are ahead and that I haven’t even scratched the surface with how God wants to use me. When people encourage you with things like that it impacts your soul. When he told me that, you know what I started thinking about? The future! And as I sit here now I am beginning to remind myself of the reason I love the future. I love the future because I still have an opportunity to choose how I will treat others, how I will speak to others, how I will love others, how I will lead others. I still have time to make some changes. When you look backward, into the past, no changes can be made…what’s done is done. All you can do is adjust, learn or choose differently for the future.
Prayer: So what do you got for me today God? Help me to choose my attitude, my actions, my words wisely today because I want today to count!
