I have read a lot of material on crisis management and one quote that sticks out came from Eckhart Tolle who said, “act like you planned it!” My gosh, how powerful is that. In other words, roll with what is your NOW. Matthew 6:34 put it this way, 34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
Don’t get me wrong, some stuff is tough, real tough in some instances that is for sure. But when you think about it, and you reflect on Matthew 6:34, yesterday already happened, so there is nothing you can do about that. Tomorrow has yet to come so it is the unknown. The reality is, you only really have this day.
The scripture tells us, “give us our daily bread” or the bread that we need for each day. When we put our energy into what we can do in a given day, we save ourselves from the distraction of focusing on the past or the unknown.
When I can center my focus on a given day, it allows me a clear palate in which to begin writing a new story, one that reflects all the lessons and wisdom gained along this life’s journey. As I tour the world with my two friends on Facebook, though I have not asked them, I am sure that what they have experienced is having one door close, opening the way through a big ole bay window!
