Not today but tomorrow!

Our world is packed with different kinds of people, among them some are successful and some unsuccessful. The only difference is that the successful persons do the ordinary things with a different pattern. They do even the smallest thing with utmost attention. There are some traits which make people successful such as attitude, determination, observation, faith, confidence, hard work and the art of utilizing opportunities with perfect timing. It does not mean that the unsuccessful persons do not have these qualities, they do have them. But because they are indifferent, they fail to make use of them, and as a result, they taste failures in their life.

All the people of good will want the world of the 21st century to be transformed into a world, where the kingdom of God is established. But what have we done to realize our dream? All of us want to be successful people in the world. Often we forget to do things in their perfect timing. We put off things to the next moment. We may have heard the story of the devil who succeeded to prevent people from doing things in its proper time. He always tells: “not now, do it later”. He never tells us not to do things, but to do them later. Often he succeeds in his attempt. That is why there is always a tendency in us to do things in the next moment. The one who puts off things for the next moment, never does the desired act at the proper time. Yes friends, many of us are like this. Let us change our motto- not tomorrow but now. Then of course, the world will surely be transformed into a world where the kingdom of God is established.
