HOW DO YOU WANT YOUR DAY TO GO?

HOW DO YOU WANT YOUR DAY TO GO?
Last Sunday, my eldest son was excited when I came into their room that morning.
He said with excitement, "Daddy, it's going to be a good day today".
Stunned by the proclamation, I asked him why he said so, and he said...
"Daddy, today, my teacher will give me a price for memorising and reading Psalm 23, and also, Uncle Joshua (his favourite uncle) will be acting".
I laughed but I learned a lesson I want to share with you.
The boy had decided that no matter what, that day was going to be a good day, even before anything happened!
I had an epiphany! How your day would be is your choice!
If you decide it would be a great day in advance, nothing can change that.
External things cannot control if you are internally determined.
I can almost hear you ask, "what if bad things happen? What if your boy's teacher forgets to give him his price or his favourite uncle refused to act?"
I believe the declaration he made into his day was enough to save him from those disappointments.
I have since started practicing it. I decide every day that I'm going to have a great day, no matter what.
I am going to add value to people, no matter what. I am going to inspire someone, no matter what.
You too can make that decision early every day! Decide and make a choice of how you want your day to go.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue!
I believe in you.

Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
