Life is about growth. If you are not growing, then what are you doing?

“Create Your Future From Your Future”

Where you are right now is as a result of what you did yesterday. Where you will be tomorrow will come from what you are doing right now.

Most people try to create their future from what happened to them yesterday. You can only create your future from what you are doing right now. Your future depends on today, not yesterday.

The question is, What are you doing right now? How are you shaping your future? Are you using your time wisely? Are you meeting with the right people? Are you taking the right courses? Are you challenging yourself? Are you doing the same thing over and over again?

You will reap what you sow. You will reap what you plant. If you plant great seeds, you will reap great fruits. If you plant bad seeds, you will reap bad fruits.

Spend your time wisely. That means, do the most important things first. Do the last things last. Don’t try to do what you like to do. Do what will make you a better person. Do things that will make you a better father, brother, sister, friend, neighbor, student.

Don’t live in the past. Live in the moment. Don’t try to create your destiny from your mistakes, weaknesses, or failures. Create your future from the things you are doing right now. Werner Erhard said, “Create your future from your not from your past.” It is okay to think about the mistakes we made yesterday, but it not okay to live in the past. The more you do that, the more you will miss the opportunity to move forward in your life.

If you want to move forward, if you want to create a great future, a future that is worth celebrating, you must create it from the future. You must create it from what you are doing today, not from what you did yesterday.

The Time To Act Is Now!

Most of us have been waiting for the perfect time that never shows up. This is one of the reasons why people are not successful in life. There is no right time to do something that is important to you. The perfect time to act on your dream is now. Now! Not later, not in the evening, not in the night, not tomorrow, not next month, not next year, but now.

“Now” has an incredible power to change your life. What you have is now. You can control what is happening now. You know what is happening now, but you don’t have control over what is going to happen tomorrow. No one can control tomorrow. No one can predict what is going to happen to you tomorrow. So, why waiting for tomorrow to act?

People don’t act now not because they are not smart enough to act, not because they don’t have the required talents and skills to act, but because of the fear of making mistakes. This is the problem with lots of people. The fear of making mistakes. How can you grow without making tons of mistakes? Is that even a question to ask? Maybe. Maybe not.

People who wait for the perfect time never achieve anything. There is no perfect time to act than now. If you don’t act now, you will never act again.

If you want to grow, if you want to achieve the incredible, don’t wait for the perfect time, don’t focus on what people will say. Don’t focus on the mistakes you will make. Instead, focus on what you will become after you have acted on your dreams. Don’t focus on being perfect. Just go for what you want. You cannot be prefect without being first imperfect. If you don’t act on your dreams, you will not be imperfect. If you are not imperfect, you cannot be perfect.

Finally, just go for what you want. Do it now! As James Thurber said, “Don’t get it right; just get it written. Yes, don’t get it right; just go for it.
