Today Matters
Motivational & Inspirational
By John C. Maxwell

     John Maxwell’s daily dozen are worth learning. It’s a list on daily discipline in which the author has created and perfected throughout his lifetime. His desire is to share this list and give others a chance at success. Maxwell stands behind his daily dozen and says this list will make each of us a better person.

     Before Maxwell lists his daily dozen, he talks about the misconceptions of success, such as “there is no such thing as overnight success” and “only those born in the right family or with the right connections can make it.”

    So what is the daily dozen? It is attitude, priority, health, family, thinking, commitment, faith, relationships, generosity, values and growth. Note faith is listed. Maxwell realizes not everyone is spiritual. He allows readers the concept of refusing this goal. Maxwell includes examples through others as well as himself to get his points across. It makes for a fascinating listen.

    Maxwell is adamant when he emphasizes the wisdom of practicing daily discipline in one’s life -- think things through; settle your matters everyday; take care of your financial matters daily; surround yourself with positive people; and most of all remember what you do today impacts your tomorrow.

     Today Matters is read by Maxwell. His voice is professional and very reassuring. I think the most impressive thing is how he offers his advice to everyone without pushing his faith. Today Matters has the ability to empower its readers. Once we learn, we must practice. That’s the key to empowering today and having a successful tomorrow. Highly recommended.
