John C. Maxwell is a leader and he knows the importance of future planning for leadership; however, he is balancing among his books between the importance of future and present since present is also important for leaders and whoever seek success in life.
One of factors that attracted me to John Maxwell books that his writings are very practical. Although his books are focusing mainly on two subjects: Leadership and Personal Growth, there are variety of topics within these two subjects.
One of the useful books he wrote is (TODAY MATTERS). I believe that this book is targeting the two subjects he focuses on always: Leadership and Personal Growth. I will talk starting from episode about this nice book and I advise everyone to read it.
The main message of the book is: (Focus on today to succeed in future) and in order to achieve this objective, the author states 12 daily practices that ones should follow.
These 12 practices touches different aspects of life and all of them are been practiced by the author. Because of that, you feel the practicality when you read the book.
These 12 daily practices are: Attitude,
Priorities, Health, Family, Thinking, Commitment, Financial Resources, Faith,
Relationship, Generosity, Values and Growth.
Under each practice, the author mentions five
main things which are:
1) Why this practice is important?
2) Decisions to be made about the practice.
3) Control Rules of the practice.
4) Author’s Experience on the practice
on different periods of his life.
5) A Story that supports this practice.
The books contains many useful tips and advices for success in life and I believe whoever follows these tips and advices will surely have more chance to be one of successful people.
