What Will You Do Today?

If you are still talking about what you did yesterday, you haven’t done much today. - Author Unknown

As wonderful as past achievements may make you feel, they cannot compare to what you are capable of today. Its natural to want to reflect upon our previous accomplishments because they make us feel good about ourselves. We can remember the glory of the battle, the difficulties we overcame during the journey and glow with pride as we point out, I did that. Thats great, but the very next words out of your mouth should be, What will I do next?

Instead of pacifying yourself with memories of what youve done before, you can choose to make it your mission to always keep growing, evolving and producing ever greater works. If you do this, you may be surprised to note that you rarely feel compelled to look back at your past accomplishments. Why? Because youll be too darn busy being productive! Rather than dwelling on your past success, let it fuel your next endeavor. Besides a feeling of pride, your accomplishments can offer something else of value: confidence to try something new! Sometimes we do just the opposite and use our past accomplishments as an excuse not to do anything more. Whether we fear not being able to top a previous victory or we simply dont want to try, we decide its safer to stay where we are and bask in the afterglow. Ridiculous!

Let excitement about your next endeavor fill you up. Let it quicken your heart and flush your face as you look forward to your next phase of growth. As exciting as your past achievements may have been, they cannot hold a candle to what you will do today! When you are too old and infirm to produce anymore, THEN you can look back and be proud of all you accomplished. Until then, youre not nearly done yet. Youve got mountains to climb, fears to face, doubts to overcome, and astounding achievements waiting to be realized. Go to it!

“Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you respond to it.”
Lou Holtz

I repeat this quote to myself when it seems like life is just piling on a bunch of stuff that I don’t want to deal with.

Times can be tough but how you deal with what is put on your plate is what really separates the men/women from the boys/girls! We may not always be able to choose what is put on our path but we always have a choice on how to react to it. The choice may not be easy but there is a choice.

Sometimes it’s easier to just kick and scream about difficult circumstances but it’s not very productive. We can learn more about who we are and what we’re made of if we choose to accept what is and work to turn it into something that will benefit our lives rather than letting it drag us down.

“If you are lonely when you are alone, you are in bad company.”
Jean Paul Sartre

I often hear people saying, “I’m bored. There’s no-one around. I’m lonely. I have nothing to do.” Makes me wonder how much they actually like themselves. If you are bored when you’re alone, how exciting can you be when you are with someone else. Don’t you think if you bore yourself that you’ll also be boring to other people?

I believe that becoming friends with ourselves and enjoying our own company is incredibly important to achieving success. If we continually look outside ourselves to find fulfillment we will be constantly let down. However, if we look within and come to know and love ourselves, that can’t help but to reflect outwards into the world…drawing to us what we most desire. Just a thought.
