Today Matters by John Maxwell



Today Matters by John Maxwell is a well written motivational book that helps the reader refocus on thinking about the present. His 12 daily practices seem overwhelming at first, however the self directed questions at each section allow the reader to think and process in steps about what matters to them in regard to that topic. The 12 practices include: attitude, priorities, health, family, thinking, commitment, finances, faith, relationships, generosity, values, and growth. Self discipline and motivation allow this daily dozen to encourage you through your day and provide a productive outlook on life. The end of the book gives you a worksheet to rate your dozen to know where to work harder. Mr. Maxwell suggests picking two strengths, and a weakness to focus on and then reevaluate every 60 days. This helps to make the material benefit the reader and not overwhelm. This will allow you to make the 12 a habit and thus "tomorrow will take care of itself."
