Today Matters

              Most times I sit and wonder why things don't go the way I want them to. I think it is because I want so many things at the same time. I focus on what I want and forget that before I can get something, I have to work for it. Life is made up of a series of stages. It is a gradual process. When my little sister was born, I took my time to study her. She did not start walking in a day, it was a gradual process. Firstly, I noticed she grew from the "lying stage" to the "sitting stage". After that, she started learning how to crawl, stand and finally walk! It was not an easy task but she succeeded in walking without aid after a while. It was one step at a time.

                    
             Watching her mature from one stage to the other has taught me that life is made up of different stages. It also taught me to keep trying no matter the number of times I fail. While she was learning to walk I observed she kept on falling, but never gave up. Sometimes when she falls , she will cry and wait for me or someone around to come pick her up and other times she gets up herself. What amazes me is that after falling and crying, she will still attempt walking almost immediately. I noticed that no matter the number of times she fell, she never gave up!
             Another awsome lesson I learnt from my little sister is the fact that she forgets the pain she felt after falling. This has taught me to learn from my mistakes and not wallow in them. The past should remain where it belongs. We see this when we are trying to start up a business, achieve success or get to our set goal. There are times when things will go wrong and we feel we cannot rise again and we wait till somone comes to help or sometimes we summorn courage and rise up again like my sister did most times. Some of us relax and complain or worry about what we did not do right. Instead we should concentrate on today and learn from yesterday's mistake. All that matters is TODAY. If I don't do what I have to TODAY, how do I expect my TOMORROW to be the way I want it to?
So my dear friends, what you do today matters a lot. Learn from yesterday's mistake and get TODAYS WORK DONE!
