Today is Mine

I heard this song yesterday for the first time, being sung by Australian guitar maestro Tommy Emmanuel. The words speak for themselves but the thing that struck me was the title “Today is Mine”, so often we feel a victim of time and say things like “I don’t have time..” or “I can’t do that..” These statements ignore the fact that we are constantly making choices about what we do and what we attend to, what is important and what isn’t. We make something important by giving it our attention, those things we ignore we are, de facto,  making less important. So often, if you ask people, they would say the most important things to them are their family or their health, yet they spend their time & energy with other people doing unhealthy things!

I always say the only time you can make Change happen is today, and if you are not taking ownership of your day then, you are failing to attend to those things which are important to you. Maybe it is time to reclaim today and make it the day you want and the first day of a life you have chosen…
