Today
BOOKMARKS
As a day breaks, there is a huge traffic of thoughts, ideas, dreams, aspirations, visions in my mind, but the one thing that has to - and will - take place in the midst of all these, is life. Life continues despite all this happening in my mind.
 
You wake up with a headache, bad mood/happy mood, enthusiasm, not really feeling great. yet there is so much or nothing to do. Before you even get out of bed, SMS/emails are flooding into you Blackberry, and before you know it, you are late for a meeting, rushing through one thing to get to another, or simply taking it easy.
 
A very close friend has just given birth, at the same time someone had a heart attack while flying to Bloemfontein, and 30 minutes after it is reported that she died. A celebrity friend has just gotten engaged; she was proposed to in Central Park, New York. A huge deal has been signed, a woman downtown just got raped, a little girl cries out for help and no one is responding because she has no one in her life; the only thing she has is the streets, drugs and to survive she ends up being a prostitute.

A candidate is graduating, matriculants are busy with their final exams, a couple have a disagreement; then end up resolving it. Cool girls go shopping and end up meeting for high tea with friends, a mother is displeased with rebellious children, politicians fight against each other all in the name of “Power”, there’s a fabulous fashion and year-end function happening later in the day, and all the other things… drama, fabulousity… you name them. Things happen and go on happening throughout the day.
 
The break-of-day events/encounters/money/power and life all leads to every individual to make a choice about today, even if one doesn’t make any choice about today, that… is still a choice.
 
Question is: What difference am I going to make today?
What do I want out of life today?
When all is said and done who am I today?
What is today to me?
 
Life is a miracle. Today I am, and today I will be. And today…

# re: Today My man, not to be negative, but what are you on about? Your whole write-up seems contrived and just not realistic.

# re: Today I like what you've said, especially about choices. We should also always remember the relationship between yesterday, today and tomorrow. Yesterday serves as a guidance, this is where have learned. Yesterday we might have made mistakes. So we learn from yesterday. On the other day today is regarded as an activity day. This is when you choose whether you sit and do nothing or you work hard enough, but inorder for you to work hard enough, you need to borrow excitement from the tomorrow (future). If you intend being the corporate giant of any kind, you will imagine yourself in that position (borrow excitement from the future) and work hard enough to reach that destiny. So yes, today is important, but lets not forget about yesterday and tomorrow for they also play a critical role in our destiny.
