The 365 Commitment

Day 295 – Closing the Day

I cannot emphasize enough the concept of closing out the day part of the formula with the 365 Commitment. When you take a quiet moment by yourself and contemplate how you did today, you might want to consider asking yourself the following questions:

  • If I had to do today over again, what would I have done differently?
  • Did I feel or see the evidence of God or other divine manifestation helping me in my day? Were your efforts being magnified (getting two or three things done at once)?
  • Did I take the opportunity to help others as they were presented to me today?
  • If I was in the movie GroundHog Day, would I wake up to Sonny and Cher again, or would a different song be playing?

When you are done asking these questions, review your list from today, pray about it and then close the book. Commit in your mind to do better tomorrow with a new list.

My advice – do not ignore this process. It is very powerful and meaningful. Definitely worth the 5 to 10 minutes it takes to do.
