Dear Self,
Don’t miss the true prize today! The prize isn’t any amount of money or fame. It can’t be wrapped up in a package with a pretty bow on top of it. It doesn’t glitter. It isn’t a platform to bring you recognition or adoration.
What is the prize? The prize is so simple that it’s easy to miss its significance and walk right on by. It isn’t loud or waving it’s hands back and forth yelling “Hey, I’m over here!”
Are you ready for the big reveal? The prize you get is today! It’s not tomorrow, not what could be, not something in the distant future, but it’s what is right now!
The prize is the moments in today that you give yourself to others. It could be packaged in a big hug, a listening ear, kind words, a helping hand, an action of love and appreciation, a moment of laughter, or some other way you impart value into others.
Self, the true prize that dazzles in the limelight isn’t what you can get today, but what you can give away today. The true reward is in the giving, not in the getting.
Self, the prize is you today giving yourself away.

In the Bible, Luke 6:38 says, “Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
Take the challenge: Give the gift of time to someone today.
