What To Accomplish Today?

We sometimes live a life of routine, sometimes chronic, to the point of being unremarkable। We may even memorize already how many steps we need to make from the door to the gate or even brush our teeth while eyes are still shut.

Being the “OC” that I am, I jot down all my must do’s for the day and notes down exactly what I have done haphazardly or excellently. I have my daily calendar laid out in my table. All activities carefully plotted out. All cancellations duly noted.

But what do we really need to accomplish today?

Perhaps we need to begin an essential task. A task that could spell a guarantee for a future stripped with ambiguity. In my situation right now, saying no is unforgivable and I’ll-get-back-to-you-with-the-results-you-need is the name of the game. It has been like this lately so I guess it should be part of what I need to accomplish today. Perhaps we need to address some lingering issues, issues that affect how well we function, issues that define and test our strength.

On the other hand, we might need to work on restoring lost friendships, fixing broken promises, gluing faltering relationships, bringing together shattered pieces. We might also be called to fork over orthodox and unorthodox decisions.

All in one day.

All these and more before we lay flat in our bed and feel the need to be awakened again.
