Dear beloved ones,
The clock is ticking. Today, while the future awaits, we can choose what it will be like. The only way you can fully appreciate the 24-hour window is by living with it.
You must live with it. Your day, your life, your happiness, your sanity, it all depends on it. You must live it. You must make it count.
Every day we are confronted with new challenges, new scenarios, new decisions, new goals, new accomplishments, new relationships, new dreams, new successes, new failures, new opportunities, new obstacles, new chances, new mistakes, new regret, and new wisdom. Nothing ever stays the same.
Life changes so fast, we barely have time to catch our breath.
Every minute we spend waiting for the next big opportunity is a wasted one. It's all about living in the present and focusing on what we can do RIGHT NOW to make our lives better. That's exactly the reason why today is the only day that matters-because we can take advantage of it right now.
And it's true. Today is the only day you have to ask yourself: What will I do to bring meaning and purpose into my life?
There are no do-overs in life, so it's important to take advantage of the hours, minutes, and seconds you have in front of you.
Ask yourself, what's most important to me? If the answer is, "I want to be rich" or "I want to be happy," then do what you need to do to make that happen. If the answer is, "I want to raise my consciousness or I want to save the world," then do that.
It won't be easy. It will be hard. It will be filled with setbacks, challenges, and obstacles. This is not just a matter of putting in the effort. It's a matter of deciding what's important and sticking to it, no matter what.
What's most important is getting what you want. Everything else is less important than that. Even your family and friends. Even your job. Even your ego.
You have the freedom to make today different. You have the freedom to do what you want to do. What will you do today?
But we are always thinking about the past and future. But the future is not coming. It is here, today. The future is here and now.
Because the future is here today, we are free to choose it. We can choose to accept the future as inevitable, or we can fight it. We can fight it by finding new ways to carry on our lives, or we can choose to destroy it by giving up, giving in, and accepting it.
Life has distractions. I'm not always in complete control of it, but one thing I do have control over is my attitude toward the day. I can choose focus instead of a distraction. When I feel scattered, overwhelmed, or frustrated, I try to remember my intent. It's always better to start your day with intent. This means finding the one specific thing you want to accomplish for that day and working on it until you are finished.
Do you know the power of intention? It is the single most important aspect of getting things done. You have to know what you are trying to get done for that day, week, month, or year. The intention that you have for that day should be written down at the start of the day so you can track your progress.
Starting today, stop thinking about yesterday or tomorrow. Make today your only thought. You'll find that you start completing your goals faster because you are focused on the present. The power of today is huge!
We do this a lot. We live in the past. We dwell in the future. We constantly feel like we have to overcome something from yesterday or achieve something new tomorrow. Or we think that it's going to be a good day when in fact, today is all we have.
Life is too short to worry about the past and worry about tomorrow.
