The Lifebuilder’s Creedby Dale Witherington

Today is the most important day of my life.

Yesterday with its successes and victories, struggles and failures is gone forever.

The past is past.

Done.

Finished.

I cannot relive it. I cannot go back and change it.

But I will learn from it and improve my Today.

Today. This moment. NOW.

It is God’s gift to me and it is all that I have.

Tomorrow with all its joys and sorrows, triumphs and troubles isn’t here yet.

Indeed, tomorrow may never come.

Therefore, I will not worry about tomorrow.

Today is what God has entrusted to me.

It is all that I have. I will do my best in it.

I will demonstrate the best of me in it-my character, giftedness, and abilities-to my family and friends, clients and associates.

I will identify those things that are most important to do Today,

and those things I will do until they are done.

And when this day is done

I will look back with satisfaction at that which I have accomplished.

Then, and only then, will I plan my tomorrow,

Looking to improve upon Today, with God’s help.

Then I shall go to sleep in peace . . . content

Shanghai.

If you can choose only one place to go in China, make it Shanghai…

(...unless you’re into that nature-stuff and you want to ‘experience’ the China that’s portrayed by Hollywood, e.g. people wearing funny outfits, single houses with straw roofs, and dirt floors with chickens running around, etc…)

Currently, I watch around 3-4 hours of TV on the weekdays and maybe 4-5 on the weekends.

So if we add that up and give it a nice round number—that would be around 24 hours a week! That means every week, I SPEND AN ENTIRE DAY WATCHING TV!!!

There are so many things that I could do with that extra day.

What frightens me more is that in a year, that’s almost 1.5 months!

I spend 1.5 months (probably more!) in front of a TV!!!

There are so many things that I can do with that time.
