I want to share a book with you, okay, I am in the middle of working through this and it’s a great book.

It’s something that was introduced to me by my coach, who I am working with, and we are working through it together a chapter a time and we are doing the exercises and it is interesting to see how it addresses some amazingly important parts of life.

How Your Future Depends on One Day

The title is something that a lot of people, they fail to see the VALUE of, and this is the title, Today Matters.

Now, WHY does today matter?

HOW does today matter?

He takes the concept that today is the most important thing that you need to focus on because the future will depend on the actions and the things that YOU DO TODAY.

There was one idea that was just almost mind blowing, it seemed so simple but it was quite amazing.

Tell Me How You Do Anything, I’ll Tell You Your Future

I have talked about this before, I have talked about it, the idea that how you do ANYTHING is how you do everything. I mean think about that, it’s kind of hard to get it, but how you do anything is how you do everything.

A Top Basketball Coach’s Life Insight

So, the idea being this, he talks about basketball players and I think he was interviewing a coach for the book, talking about the idea that move this coach forward.

Anyway, the point was this that the basketball coach said that,

When I work with the team, I try to impart to them one simple idea and that is, when they are practicing they need to give it 100%. They can’t expect to practice today at 75% and hope to go to the game and play it all out at 100% and win the game, they need to be practicing today and everyday at 100% because you cannot be in the future what you’re not willing to be today.”

And you can take this and apply it to almost any area of your life and you can see your life change dramatically if you will tune in to this one simple idea.

All right, well I encourage you to go check the book out.

I am going to leave you with a quote from this book from John Maxwell. Here is your quote:

[shareable cite=”John Maxwell” text=”The greatest of all insights is that we cannot be tomorrow what we do not do today, that is why today matters.”]The greatest of all miracles is that we need not be tomorrow what we are today. The greatest of all insights is that we cannot be tomorrow what we do not do today, that is why today matters. #quote[/shareable]

And here is your affirmation for you today to get that idea and to make it a part of your thinking. Post it by your bed, put it on your mirror on the door, see it in the morning when you wake up, say it three times, picture yourself being this new person and really internalize it and feel it internally.
