Today Is Yesterday's Tomorrow







The problem with waiting until tomorrow is that when it  finally arrives, it is called today. Today is yesterday's tomorrow. The  question is, What did we do with its opportunity? All too often we will waste  tomorrow as we wasted yesterday, and as we are wasting today. All that could  have been accomplished can easily elude us, despite our intentions, until we  inevitably discover that the things that might have been have slipped from our  embrace a single, unused day at a time. 


Each of us must pause frequently to remind ourselves that  the clock is ticking. The same clock that began to tick from the moment we drew  our first breath will also someday cease. 


Time is the great equalizer of all mankind. It has taken  away the best and the worst of us without regard for either. Time offers  opportunity but demands a sense of urgency. 


When the game of life is finally over, there is no second  chance to correct our errors. The clock that is ticking away the moments of our  lives does not care about winners and losers. It does not care about who  succeeds or who fails. It does not care about excuses, fairness or equality.  The only essential issue is how we played the game. 


Regardless of a person's current age, there is a sense of  urgency that should drive them into action now, this very moment. We should be  constantly aware of the value of each and every moment of our lives, moments  that seem so insignificant that their loss often goes unnoticed. 


We still have all the time we need. We still have lots of  chances—lots of opportunities—lots of years to show what we can do. For most of  us, there will be a tomorrow, a next week, a next month, and a next year. But  unless we develop a sense of urgency, those brief windows of time will be sadly  wasted, as were the weeks and months and years before them. There isn't an  endless supply! 


So as you think of your dreams and goals of your future  tomorrow, begin today to take those very important first steps to making them  all come to life.

Obstacles are the Stepping Stones of Successby by Harvey Mackay

A man was walking in the park one day when he came upon a cocoon with a small opening. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through the little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It looked like it had gotten as far as it could, so the man decided to help the butterfly. He used his pocketknife and snipped the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, but something was strange. The butterfly had a swollen body and shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected at any moment the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and deformed wings. It was never able to fly. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to emerge was natural...
