“Today is just a day fading into another, and that can’t be what a life is for.” – Counting Crows

Life at times feels like just another day like the one before it fading into the one after it. We move at a crawl through each day without any sense of direction or reason.

When our days are limited, coming to the end of a day like that seems pointless and disappointing. At the end of today, will I be able to say it was significant?

Will today have been intentional in any way?
Will today have made any difference at all?
Will I have made any significant step toward a vision?
A goal?
A purpose?

Today does not have to be just a day fading into another!

Significance is not an issue of fame or even recognition.
Significance is an issue of making a difference where you are.

If you are a person of faith, significance is making a difference where God has placed you now
today
at this moment.
(Eph. 2:10)

The main thing that will make this day significant is intentionality.

Intentional about relationships around you now…today.
Intentional about resting and taking it all in now…for a second.
Intentional about creating something now…no matter how tiny…

Run with that idea…
