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?
