THE BOOK OF LIFE:
Life is a book. Your past is a book that has been written, assessed and archived. Your present is a work in progress. It can be edited, reviewed, discarded and restarted afresh. Your future is unwritten. It as yet has no title. The pages are empty. The ink is full. The possibilities are endless as they are infinite. Your actions and inactions today will not only define your present they will more importantly determine your future - what fills the blank pages. Sorrow or success?
It is the foundations that you lay today that your future is built upon. A man who works hard today. Studies well today. Tills the soil and sows good seeds today. That man, without a doubt, has signed an irrevocable memorandum of understanding to appropriate a future replete with success, peace and happiness. Your commissions and omissions today are the currency with which you purchase the future you order.
What you pay for today will with absolute certainty be delivered to you tomorrow. Therefore, a man who flirts indiscriminately with laziness and procrastination today is unwittingly paying for the poverty virus which will virulently plague him tomorrow. In like manner, the man who prays, plans and plants today is simply making deposits in anticipation of a bountiful harvest which, as certain as there is life and death, will be delivered to his storeroom tomorrow.
So make a commitment to write a beautiful script for your life today. One good life script written today guarantess a box office life drama tomorrow. What to do? Quit the crippling character of excuses, complaints and self pity. Embrace life with hope, love, laughter, enthusiasm and optimism. Get off the paralyzing coach of complacency. Define and visualize what you want to be in the future. Then get up and take that proverbial first step towards actualizing your goal. The pen is in your hand. The blank pages lie before you. The choice is yours to fill it with life, success and joy or death, failure and sorrow. Remember, the world will always give right of passage to the man who knows where he is going and is determined to get there.
One good life script at a time and together we can secure a better world tomorrow. So, get up. Pick up your pen. Turn a new page. And begin to write your life story with such beautiful similes, powerful metaphors, positive symbols, colorful alliterations and inspirational chapters that add significant value to humanity and posterity.
