You Have Only One Life Make It Count

By Michael Hutton-Wood

Did you know that: You are the prophet of your own destiny? You decide what becomes of your destiny based on your choices, decisions, personal and mind investments, work ethics, skills and character. All you need do is to take a look at the choices you make daily because the secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. Your every choice is leading your life in a particular destination! Your choices determine your destiny! Success consists of little daily efforts and failure consists of little daily neglects!! Right Choices Lead To Good Decisions And Wrong Choices Lead To Bad Decisions. Therefore, decide to make the right choice today. Don’t just count the hours but make every hour count. Every time-waster is a potential failure or a hard toiling worker in old age! Your future depends on many things but mostly on you. So invest your time wisely! Robert Schuller said: ‘There will never be another now, so make the best use of today.’ There will never be another you, so make the best of your life! Your life is a reflection of your actions and life will always give back whatever you give it! If you keep doing what you have always done in the past, you will still get what you had always gotten. That’s why Albert Einstein defined Insanity as: ‘Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.’

Introduction

One of the major characteristics of those who make their lives count is: They CHASE THEIR PASSION AND NOT THEIR PENSION. They are people who have a definite sense of purpose and mission and follow it through as an addiction. They live by this philosophy: DESTINY IS NOT DECIDED BUT DISCOVERED.

God did not create you to be a wandering generality but a meaningful specific. It is time to: Let the earth know that you are here and to let those who come after you’ve finished your assignment on earth know that you were here.

Zig Ziglar said:

"Don’t become a wandering generality.

Be a meaningful specific."

We were not birthed to be a wandering generality but a meaningful specific. We must be equipped to do the work of ministry and to fulfil destiny, not to sit. (Ephesians 4:7-16)

Until we individually and collectively do what we were born for and created for, we will never feel fulfilled in life. God created you for a reason far bigger than just living or making a living. You were born to make a difference and make your life count. Contrary to what many believe: You were not created to make a living but to make a difference; to make impact everywhere you go. The Good News is:

YOU ARE NEITHER TOO OLD NOR TOO YOUNG

TO SUCCEED OR FULFIL DESTINY.

It’s never too early or too late to succeed or fulfil destiny. You are only old if you think you are. The best way you stay young is to keep your mind young through addiction to information, revelation, wisdom and insight and staying passionately occupied through diligence i.e. hard and smart work in your field of calling.
