Today Matters
By John C. Maxwell

Purpose: To teach you how to take the many small steps that lead to success each and every day of your life. Why do we miss out on using our “todays”- We over exaggerate yesterday – past failures and successes – We overestimate tomorrow – things will get better, I will do it tomorrow- We underestimate today – don’t recognize today’s potential and valueSo what is the missing piece to your success? The secret to your success is determined by your daily agenda! But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you will be adding to your “to do” list. This will give you a new approach to your work and your life! Successful people make right decisions early and manage those decisions daily. Through much study John C. Maxwell has determined what he calls the “Daily Dozen” these are critical areas for decisions that will shape your future success.These 12 areas are:

1 – Attitude
2 – Finances
3 – Priorities
4 – Faith
5 – Health
6 – Relationships
7 – Family
8 – Generosity
9 – Thinking
10- Values
11 – Commitment
12 – Growth

In each area you are to think about and make a major decision in each area that will be life long. This is important because when you make decisions calmly and on purpose: It takes your emotions out of the picture (ever made a bad impulsive decision?)-It makes managing your life easier and less stressful The following summary of the Daily Dozen will list an example of a decision and the daily activities needed to support that decision. You may need to adjust these to meet your own needs.

I am a 42 year old Father of 4 wonderful children. Recently, I lost my oldest son 😢  at 19 yrs of age on Jan of 2022 to a tragedy of violence. I have helped raise a beautiful daughter since she was 3 as her only father figure. Despite my hardships, I am filled with a passion for helping to share my wealth of knowledge, caring, education, and opportunities with many communities around the world. A vision of mine is to one day inspire, empower, and uplift people's belief within themselves. To take a chance and give it all they got, to do something great in their lives. For a family, a friend, a community, or a great cause they believe in. Ultimately, my impact will help others create a lasting legacy of impact for their lives as well. Have a blessed day, and thank you for listening it's been a pleasure serving you. :)
