Retirement Investing - Rejoice In Today

October 23rd, 2006 by Papabear

Here’s a special thought for Sunday or whenever you read this.

I posted a blog entry a couple of days ago I called Retirement Investing – What Would Jesus Do? After seeing that post, a friend reminded me the Bible also says:

“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” PSALMS 118:24

We can rejoice over happy memories of the past, or we can rehash old mistakes we made.

We can rejoice – in effect – about the future because we can imagine goods things happening. We can also worry about the future by imagining bad things happening. And isn’t it interesting how it often seems easier to come up with more negative things to imagine about the future than positive ones.

You may be asking what does this have to do with retirement investing or saving for retirement? We must remember – the only day we really have control over is today. To take control of the future, we must take control of today.

Let’s begin by taking control of our attitude. Let’s resolve – just for today – to rejoice.

Remember – “One Day At A Time”.
