Success Starts Today

Another day, full of potential. Another day without my cable television. Another day to choose whether or not to waste it!
The only resource that is truly not renewable is TIME. Every second that slips away that I waste NOT doing what God wants me to do can never be regained. Success starts today. As Dan Brown quotes in his book "48 Days to the work you love", "Few obstacles exist beyond those in our minds if we are creative in looking for solutions. Success is not a future event-it is the progressive realization of worthwhile goals. Either you are successful today or you are not."
The plans and goals forming in my heart may take years. But success in these things start TODAY. It is not acceptable to put it off because I am raising young children or I have too many meaningless activities on my plate. If I make even a small step to be what I have been created to be, then today I succeeded. Serving and loving my family and others will overflow from who I am as God's daughter, not in losing who I was created to be and setting dreams aside. I am a mother, but I am also a wife, daughter, friend,and a gifted woman,a created daughter of God. I will never lose myself when I pursue who I really am.
