Seize The Day
DAILY VITAMIN
Howard Thurman once said "The moment, the minute that this generation conquers fear, then that is the minute that the battle is won.....the skermishes will come, but the battle is won". We all have one life to live, at least on this earth, with each at least having an opportunity to make a different legacy than the ones we met, or more if lucky. At this moment of opportunity, taking forever to ponder about the idea would be a futile exercise entrapped in the paralysis of analysis, rather as this God given opportunity surfaces, CARPE DIEM (Seize The Day) should be our entire response. Willie Jolley advised that a change in our lives from a bad to a good state doesn't require a long time, rather only a minute; and i stand to agree with him, as our change truly comes the minute we decide to change. In the days ahead, opportunities would come knocking, and we'd be wise to know what to do when it does. The war strategy one uses is not chosen on the battlefield, so we must be well aware of the steps we need to take to get that huge leap in life when the opportunity appears. David knew what he wanted to do with Goliath before the bout began, and as a result he slung that stone deep beyond his reach. Don't let fear make you clueless right in front of your earnest opportunity, rather like David, drop your fears, take a planned and prepared shot, and go past your battle a winner. Let this sink into you: The moments before your opportunity comes were given for your preparation, while the moment of the opportunity was given for your execution, not the other way around. So, be sober and vigilant with a plan inspired by God to make that opportunity ahead a "must-win", for indeed the moment preparation and action meet in the face of problems, victory is produced!
