To make today count, you must live it. And if you do not live it, if you do not choose yourself, you will lose it.

To make today count, try these four strategies:

“Put your whole heart into the present”

James Allen said, “Put your whole heart into the present, living it, minute by minute, hour by hour, and day by day, self-governed and pure.” If you really want to make today count, you must stay in the present moment.

Choose yourself

Chogyam Trungpa once said, “Unless we are able to make friends with ourselves, there is no hope at all. If we abandon ourselves as hopeless, as villains, then there is no steppingstone.” To know yourself, you must embrace yourself. Do not reject yourself, no matter what. Even if others don’t like you, if you are for yourself, no one can be against you.

Stay away from negative people.

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always o that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”- Mark Twain

“Face a situation fearlessly“

Florence Scovel Shinn said, “Face a situation fearlessly, and there is no situation to face; it falls away of its own weight.” If you do not believe in your own self, if you cannot face life, consider what you are doing to yourself. You are limiting yourself. Because you do not have the courage to face life, to face your fears.

Remember, to defeat something, you must face it.

Is Success Really Worth It?

Robert Collier said, “No goal is ever won without overcoming obstacles.” Success has a price. If you are willing and ready to pay the price, you will be successful. But if you haven’t done your work, if you have not assess yourself, if you have not asked yourself some tough questions, do not go there. Because success is real. If you want it, you must be real. You must be willing and ready to give all that you’ve got. Give your best. Because you are not going to be able to conquer yourself if you don’t want to work.

Yes, success is possible, but you must do your work. Success is within your reach, but you must get your hands dirty.

When you are going after your success, when you are chasing your purpose, focus on the process, not the destination. And when you are faced with a problem, just remember why you are doing what you are doing. And don’t forget that where their are not difficulties, there can be no growth.

If we don’t face obstacles, we don’t grow. So, if what you are doing is not going well, just remember that if you want to grow, you must face obstacles. If we want to kick average away from our lives, we must challenge ourselves. We must push ourselves. We must give it all. We must learn to love ourselves, no matter what. And you must not hold anything back. You must put everything into it, if you have the heart.

If you have the heart to pursue success, it will come to you. The question is, Do you have what it takes to pursue success?
