What You Do Today Can Improve All Of Your Tomorrows. – Author Unknown
As great as it may be to have had an excellent day yesterday, it may pale in comparison to what you can accomplish today! Yes I know it’s just natural for people to reflect or relive in your mind all the greatness of your most awesome day yesterday, because this makes 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.” That’s 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 you’ve 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 you’ll be too darn busy being productive! Rather than dwelling on your past success, let it fuel your next task or adventure.
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 don’t want to try, we decide it’s safer to stay where we are and bask in the afterglow. This is simply a B.S. moment!
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 feeble to produce anymore, THEN you can look back and be proud of all you accomplished. Until then, you’re not nearly done yet. You’ve got mountains to climb, fears to face, doubts to overcome, and astounding achievements waiting to be realized. To quote the brilliant marketing minds at Nike…JUST DO IT!
Thanks for reading this post and now it’s time for you to take action!
