Recognizing the emotion behind something makes that thing a Gift. And by not recognizing that feeling, the gift also becomes just a thing.

A pen becomes a gift when you recognize the spirit in which it is given to you. Your childhood begins to feel like a gift when you recognize the spirit of your parents who created your upbringing. Education becomes a gift when you recognize the spirit of the teacher who has imparted his knowledge to you. Your standard of living becomes a gift when you recognize the spirit of your employer behind its upliftment. And the growth and development taking place in the organization becomes a gift when you recognize the spirit of your employees in their hard work.

Nothing is a gift, but a gift is an attitude, an attitude to pay attention to the feeling behind that thing.

In this sense ‘today’ is a gift. Just like every gift comes from some source or the other, similarly the precious gift of ‘Today’ is either gifted to you by God or it means that you have lived your last day. Not everyone who slept last night woke up this morning. But you have really woken up, Means some power sitting above still considers you worthy to be given one more ‘today’.

Recognize that divine spirit behind giving you these twenty four hours. Know that your ‘today’ is a gift given to you by God. Realize that mistreating a gift is mistreating its giver. A single day of his life wasted is an abuse, a betrayal of the giver. When you know the significance of a gift, then only you can understand its value. Give importance to ‘today’ and make it valuable.

Today you will make a deal for a day of your life, what will you get in return. So make your today as productive as possible. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. So tie your past behind the Lakshman Rekha, believe that yesterday is over with yesterday, so press your ‘speed button’ to move into the future. ‘Today’ is neither interested in the faults of your past nor distracted by the uncertainties of the future – it is a free day in itself, an opportunity in itself, and a part of life in itself. That’s why you take care of each of your ‘today’, by this you will be able to take care of your whole life.

The Buddha said, “Arise and give thanks, for if we have not learned much today, we have learned a little, and if we have not learned a little, at least we have not fallen ill.” , and even if we have fallen ill, at least we are alive, so we should all be grateful.”

Pray, “O God, this day of mine is a gift to me from you, and the way I live this day will be a gift from me to you.”

Conclusion:

Everything you have and everything that you are, is a gift from God. You cannot take credit for it. You cannot change it or manipulate it. It has been given to you because God loves you and wants good things for your life.
