9-9-09 Can Be Something Significant
Tomorrow is 9-9-09. The symmetry & alliteration offer a moment of significance, a clear touchstone for planning and action.
And that special date offers you an opportunity to begin something special, something of real & lasting significance in your own life.
What have you been putting off?
What wonderful accomplishments are you planning when you say, “I’ll get around to it…someday.”
Well, friend, 9-9-09 could very well be that day.
I am using that particular date as my own personal touchstone, my own personal reference for some wonderful goals.
I have set specific goals to be reached in 2 months, in 6 months, in 8 months, & in 12 months…all dated from 9-9-09.
You may be thinking that this is nothing more than a gimmick…you may be saying that 9-9-09 holds no more significance than any other date. After all, they’re all just numbers on a calendar.
And, you know what? You would be absolutely correct.
There is nothing special about any date or any moment unless we make it so.
Allow me to repeat that, “…unless we make it so.”
There is nothing magic about a specific date. The key is in what we do. Success is always about what we do.
But couldn’t you use a little magic?
Why not conjure some now by using this unique date to start building something special in your life.
Use it as a springboard to greatness!
And when you have succeeded, when you have built that castle you know you deserve, when you have forged a golden link in the chain that is your life, when you are basking in the joy of your accomplishments, then you
can look back and say, “This seed of greatness was planted on 9-9-09.”
If you don’t do it now, when are you ever going to get around to it?
One response so far
I didn’t realize we were at one of those special dates until late last night. Setting goals from here is a great idea! Thanks so much!
I am involved in a course for writers and hope to make a living at it some day. I have started journaling, something that I have done sporadically over the years, writing blogs, articles and I have 3 books in the works! Wow! Where did all of this come from?! Focus, I think.
You have an open invitation to visit my blog and make comments. I just posted one about a bear visit to my home and the one before that is on the importance of drinking water.
Keep up the great work!
