Each day can be viewed as another page in our lives. We are only responsible for the portion we write, or fail to write, each day. Our thoughts, words and actions appear in draft or finalized form each day. Before they are finalized, we can rewrite, make additions, clarify, and correct our thoughts. Before finalizing, it is a good idea to proofread, and maybe ask someone else to proofread again with a fresh set of eyes.
Life is like writing, and if you are writing an important email, you will want to make sure that you have written a good draft, rewritten it, and thoroughly proofread it before hitting the send button. If we take time to examine our thoughts and actions each day, before hitting the send button, it would probably make a major difference in our lives. We can save ourselves a lot of trouble if we take time to hit the pause button and think before we act and rewrite our lines before we speak.
Did you discipline, and check, yourself today before hitting the send button? Many people are in prison wishing they could rewrite a page in their lives. Many are in the graveyard because they hit the send button too soon. I once heard it said that, “it is a good idea to think twice before speaking once, and sometimes it is a good idea to taking it all out in thinking and none of it in speaking.” Some things cannot not be erased or whited-out. Tomorrow is another day and another opportunity to write a new page. By writing a rough draft, we may get a head start for a better page for tomorrow. As we turn the pages of our lives, let us keep in mind that our discipline will determine our destiny.
