YESTERDAY IS GONE, TOMORROW MAY NOT COME, TODAY IS ALL WE HAVE!

Don’t live in the past! We have all heard the saying, “Don’t cry over spilled milk.” The past is over. The check has been cashed. We need to let go of whatever has happened in the past. It holds us back from continuing on our journey to success. We are the authors of our lives. We can write a new chapter at anytime. We cannot rewrite the past.

We also need to avoid living in the future as well. The future may not look the way we think it will. Another popular saying is , “The check is in the mail.” If we don’t have that check in our hands, we may never get it.

Today is all we have. The present. Now. We received the check, cashed it and the money is now in our hands. Let’s avoid wasting today by reliving the past or day-dreaming about future success. We can make a call to someone we haven’t talked to for awhile or write that overdue letter. We can think big by writing that business plan or finishing an overdue project.

Success depends on what we do today. The actions we take today help us write the next chapter of our lives. We cannot relive our past. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow may not come. Day-dreaming without action is a waste of our precious time. Time we could spend doing something to make our dreams a reality.

We are the authors of our lives…let’s start writing our next chapter today by living in the present – the NOW!
