Yesterday is gone. Yesterday is in the past. Tomorrow is in progress. You are making it now, right now. Today is right here, right now.

The question is, ‘What are you doing right now? What is going on in your life right now, right here? How are you feeling? Are you happy? Are you where you are supposed to be?

If you are not where you want to be, you can fix it. You can make it better. You can do something about it.

How? First, focus on what is going on in your life. If you are not happy with what you are getting, don’t ask other people. Instead, ask yourself, ‘What is it that I am not paying attention to? What is it that I am not doing that I am supposed to be doing? What am I thinking that I am NOT supposed to be thinking? What am I supposed to be thinking that I am not thinking. How am I spending my time?’

You have to look within, not without. Because you know what you want. You also know why you are not moving closer to where you want to be. Do you? I think so.

It is better to look within you than to keep blaming other people for your problems. Blaming other people is a waste of your time. It is not going to add a thing to your life. Instead, it will take your focus away from what you are doing. Because when you are blaming others, you are slowly moving away from what you are going after.

Do not do that to your life. Because your life is special. Your life is precious. That is why you should never play with it. If you play with your life, other people will play with you. People won’t take you seriously. People won’t follow you.

So if you want to move your life forward, you must make a decision. One decision, not two decisions. Because your clock is ticking. Remember, great things start with a single decision. Why not today, my friend?

‘Doubt Your Limits, Not Your Abilities’

‘Ignore the haters. They will always be there, but you decide whether or not to let them drag you down.’

‘Embrace that you need to be positive to help the people around you thrive. You can choose to be the person who lifts others up, or the person who brings them down.’

‘Find the silver lining. If you can’t see there is potential good in a situation, you can’t make it happen.’

‘If you are going to spend any of your precious energy doubting something, doubt your limits, not your abilities.’

‘Opportunity is all around you, but if you are too busy gawking at obstacles, you’ll be blinded to those opportunities.’

‘It’s amazing how much better everyone else gets when you work on yourself.’

‘Nothing is more powerful than a positive mind.’

‘Opportunity doesn’t come knocking on your schedule. Good things come to those who persist.’

‘Lighten up and get going. If you don’t go the right way immediately, so what? Just dust yourself off, find the humor, and give it another go.’

‘Don’t think about what is possible for the person you used to be last year. Instead, think about what is possible for the person you want to become.’
