DaleWitherington의

인생을설계하는자의신조

오늘은내인생에서가장중요한날

성공과승리노력과패배로가득찬

어제는이미사라지고없다.

과거는과거일이미지나갔고

더이상존재하지않는시간이다.

과거를되돌릴수없는법

과거로돌아가서바꿀수도없는법.

그러나나는과거로부터배워서오늘을개선한다.

오늘,바로이순간은하나님이나에게주신선물이자

내가갖고있는모든것.즐거움과설음,승리와고뇌로

가득찬내일은여기에없다.

오지도않을수있는내일을

나는결코걱정하지않으리.

오늘내가가진모든것이니최선을다하리.

오늘내가가진모든능력과자질과성격을

가족과친구와고객과동료들에게보여주리.

오늘내가해야할가장중요한것들을

찾아내서끝까지최선을다해마무리지으리.

그렇게오늘이지나간다면

내가이룬것들을흡족하게바라볼수있으리.

그때,바로그때,오늘보다더좋은내일을꿈꾸며

하나님과함께내일을계획하리라.

그리고나는평화와만족을느끼며잠자리에들리라.

Today,isthemostimportantdayofmylife

Yesterdaywithitssuccessesandvictories,

Thepastispast.Done.Finished.

Icannotrelieveit.Icannotgobackandchangeit.

ButIwilllearnfromitandimprovemyToday.

Today.Thisismoment.NOW.

ItisGod’sgifttomeanditisallthatIhave.

Tomorrowwithallit’sjoyandsorrows,triumphsandtroublesisn’thereyet.

Indeed,tomorrowmaynevercome.

Therefore,Iwillnotworryabouttomorrow.

TodayiswhatGodhasentrustedtome.

AndwhenthisdayisdoneIwilllookbackwithsatisfactionatthatwhichIhaveaccomplished

Then,onlythen,willIplanmytomorrow,

LookingtoimproveuponToday,withGod’shelp.

ThenIshallgotosleepinpeace.
