Episode 12 (Grow and Lead)

Let me continue in this episode to talk about the daily practices that ensure future success. We are still talking about (TODAY MATTERS) book written by John C. Maxwell. Again, I want to remind all readers that the main message of this book is (Focus on today to succeed in future).

In this episode, I will mention three important daily practices that are really required in our life. They are Family, Thinking and Commitment. Starting with family, the author states that (Today's family give me stability).

It is important to place family on the top list of one's priority. The way you deal with your family has a great effect on your life style and the legacy you leave for your children. Your family life won't only build your children personalities, but your personality as well.

Next important daily practice is Thinking. (Today's Thinking give me an advantage). This is how the author states the importance of thinking. Here are some points that prove this importance:

- Good thinking will lead to good results.

- Good thinking will increase your capabilities.

There are lot of thinking types and you can refer to the episodes I wrote about (Thinking for a Change) book for the same author. It is important to search for suitable place for thinking and assign daily time for it. This is beside catching your ideas and apply whatever possible as soon as possible.

Commitment is the next daily practice that we should focus on. (Today's commitment give me tenacity). It is important for the following reasons:

- Commitment can change your life.

- Commitment helps to overcome many life challenges.

The author offers some advices in order to maintain this commitment on daily basis:

- Don't depend only on talent.

- Focus on choices not circumstances.

- Do what is right even if you didn't feel you want to do it.

My objective of these episodes is to highlight the important points only, but the real benefit will come while reading the book, so I advice everyone to read this useful book since it will change once life towards better.
