TODAY’S TONIC: Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do By Bishop Duke Akamisoko

. There is no greater harm than that of time wasted. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation… even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind. It is never too late to be who you might have been. The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. Thinking will not overcome fear, but action will. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try one more time. There is no such thing as failure, only feedback. Success is never final; failure is never fatal. It’s courage to continue that counts. The only cure for grief is action. To achieve greatness, start where you are, use what you have, and do what you can. The biggest gap in your life is that between what you know and what you do. Things won are done; joy’s soul lies in the doing. Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid of only standing still. To get what we’ve never had, we must do what we have never done. Dream as if you will live forever. Live as all things are possible . Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make it bigger and better. You will either step forward into growth, or you will step back into safety. The undertaking of a new action brings new strength. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Action eliminates doubt. Faith gives strength and hope!
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift use it well and positively:That’s why we call it the present. Your big opportunity may be right where you are now. You must lose myself in action, lest you wither in despair. Action is the foundational key to all success. Every accomplishment starts with a decision to try. The longer you wait for the future, the shorter it will be. Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin. If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up, and never give up. Action is eloquence.
There are three things that we control that will improve the quality of our lives: the thoughts we have, the words we use, and most importantly, the actions we take.
Great weekend on the last day of January 2025
