The Lifebuilder's Creed

Today is the most important day of my life.

Yesterday with its successes and victories, struggles and failures

is gone forever.

The past is past. Done. Finished.

I cannot relive it.  I cannot go back and change it.

But I will learn from it and improve my Today.

Today.  This moment.  NOW.

It is God's gift to me and it is all that I have.

Tomorrow with all its joys and sorrows, triumphs and troubles

isn't here yet.

Indeed tomorrow may never come.

Therefore, I will not worry about tomorrow.

Today is what God has entrusted to me.

It is all that I have.  I will do my best in it.

I will demonstrate the best of me in it -

my character, giftedness, and abilities -

to my family and friends, clients and associates,

I will identify those things that are most important

to do Today,

and those things I will do until they are done.

And when this day is done

I will look back with satisfaction at that

which I have accomplished.

Then and only then, will I plan my tomorrow,

Looking to improve upon Today, with God's help.

Then I shall go to sleep in peace . . . content.
