Today Is The Most Important Day Of Your Life

That goes for you, for me and every person on this planet. It doesn't matter if you are poor or rich, healthy or sick, young or old. For all of us, today is the most important day of our lives.

What makes today so unique? They didn't report anything about it in the news. Everything seems the same as always.

Look out the window and see if anything looks special. I don't suppose you notice anything out of the ordinary.

You probably doubt that today really is the most important day of your life, even if I am saying it is. Then answer me this. When else is the most important day of your life? Has this day ever happened in your past? Do you see it somewhere far in your future?

Then I have to tell you you're wrong. A glorious day in the past may have had a decisive influence on your life, but that day is long gone. Its importance fades with the years. And you do not know if more significant days may yet dawn.

Nor can you place faith in the future. Tomorrow morning, you could simply not wake up. A million other things could happen that would lower your expectations for tomorrow. Tomorrow is an uncertain candidate for the most important day of your life.

So today is all you have left. The past is fixed, and the future is just a hunch on the horizon. There's nothing you can do yesterday or tomorrow. But you can do something today. You have an infinite number of choices right now.

You had these possibilities yesterday, and you will have them tomorrow when you experience the next day. Well, that's not entirely true. You have an infinite number of possibilities tomorrow, minus the ones you only had today. And today, you already have fewer options than you had yesterday.

So since you only have a choice today, today is the most important day in your life.

You can write the first sentence of your first book right now. You can pick up your phone right now and make a call that will change your life. Maybe you're making up with someone, telling them you love them, or just applying for a new job.

You can put on your sneakers right now and start running even though you haven't jogged in years.

If you look back in a few years, today may have been the day you embarked on a new career, marriage, or a healthy life.

We make decisions every second with the consequences we have to live with. We can't make no decisions, and we can't avoid any of the results. Every moment starts a new present and only at this present we really live.

We do not live yesterday, but today. We do not live tomorrow either, because tomorrow is a white page. When we talk about our life, we always mean a more or less long period of time. But in reality, we only speak of our history and our perspectives. Our real-life, which is taking place right now and is already over, we never talk about.

But we should. The moment is essential. Today is monumentally important. Actually, nothing else is really important, because we can only shape today.

It is not necessary to do something worldly every day. It is only vital that we remember each day anew to live our lives actively and responsibly. Every decision that we simply let happen instead of actively making it is a missed opportunity to celebrate our freedom.

We should not feel pressured by the fact that today is the most important day of our lives. No one is asking us to change our lives today radically. But the awareness of the unsurpassable value of the moment should never be lost to us once we have thought about it.
