“Forget yesterday - it has already forgotten you. Don't sweat tomorrow - you
haven't even met. Instead, open your eyes and your heart to a truly precious
gift - today.” - Steve Maraboli

| Today is A Gift |
Permit me to specially welcome you to the year 2014, it gives me great
pleasure to know you made it, therefore I consider it not out of place to say a
hearty congratulations to you. We will kick start the year with a series very
dear to my heart “THE GIFT OF A DAY”.
There is so much to be done today, you must wake up every day in 2014
with this mentally, interestingly even when you are at rest your body never
postpones what it has to do today for tomorrow. IN a 24 hour period, if you're
an adult of average weight, here is what you accomplish in a day: Your heart
beats 103,689 times, your blood travels 168,000,000 miles, you breathe 23,040
times, and you inhale 438 cubic feet of air. , You
eat 3.25 pounds of food; you
drink 2.9 quarts of liquids. You lose 7/8 pound of waste, you speak 4,800 words, including some
unnecessary ones, you move 750 muscles, your nails grow .000046 inch, your hair
grows .01714 inch and you exercise 7,000,000 brain cells.
Live today, not yesterday nor tomorrow. Today.
Inhabit your moments. Don’t lease them out to tomorrow. Today is
calling to you trying to get your attention, but you’re stuck on tomorrow, and
today trickles away like water down a drain. You wake up the next morning and
that today you wasted is gone forever. It’s now yesterday. Some of those
moments may have had wonderful things in store for you, but now you’ll never
know.” Friends, “Today is a new day. Don't let your history interfere with your
destiny, neither daydream about your destiny and do nothing today! I urge to
follow this series closely as we begin the year and unravel the secrets of the
gift of today.
Happy New Year, and welcome
to your year of laughter.
