New Year Agenda

What says your time? What is today’s date? I am sure this is not the first time you are seeing that time. But this is the first time you are seeing the date – it comes once and never returns. What makes each day distinct is not the time, rather the date.

A clock is a machine that repeats its day activity irrespective of the date. It never changes. The only thing permanent is change – I am telling you now with great assurance that the only thing permanent is the clock routine. Only one way leads to its door.

Date is an event that occur once and never repeats itself irrespective of who demand for its repetition. Date is a friend of no one. Time could always be manipulated; you can delay a meeting of 2 o’ Clock till 3 o’ Clock (African time). Date can’t be delayed – no wonder there is nothing like African date.

A lot of people live their life in accordance to the clock believing they are keeping to time. Life of a clock is simply running different race the same way. Its hands rotate from twelve to twelve and repeats the rotation to make a day. This is all it does for all days of different years. When you live your life like that of the clock, your tomorrow will always be like today – no difference! It is high time you quit being a clock and start acting like a date. Your yesterday shouldn’t determine your today.

Your today can only predict your tomorrow; it never dictates it.

Those things you have been thinking of starting but always postponing, it is high time you start them. Quit being a clock. Whenever you remember an unpleasant feeling of the past, check your time and say to yourself ‘it is always the same’. Check your date and say to yourself ‘that was in the past’. Today is another day. It is a brand new day.

Are you ready to start acting differently? Ready to quit the wall clock life? Happy New Year. It is another day, a new date; don’t mind the time. It is always the same.
