Time is flying by. There are less than 3 months left in 2010. If you are waiting for the perfect time in 2010, then you are about to be passed. There will never be a time of perfection or a problem free environment in this life.
MAKE YOUR FUTURE BIGGER THAN YOUR PAST
Many people face the future with apprehension. “I’m just glad it will be Clark Gable who’s falling on his face and not Gary Cooper.” Gary Cooper’s comment after he declined the role of Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind.
Others face the future with anticipation. “My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.” The past is useful because it is rich with experiences that are worth thinking about in new ways that can become raw material for creating an even bigger future. Use your past to create a bigger future and you will separate yourself from situations, relationships, and activities that can trap you there.
You have five lives:
Yesterday Experiences from the past influence how you live, work, think, cope with stress, and get along with others in the present.
Today Each day is a new day. Utilize each day to the fullest.
Within The biggest battles are fought within us.
Ahead Tough times don’t last, tough people do.”
Beyond I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I know who holds tomorrow.
