♥ - WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD 03/20/2013 - ♥

Will you one day look back 

on today and wonder 

why you were so afraid to take action? 

Will you look back one day 

and not be able to understand 

why you let so many of life's trivial, 

minor inconveniences get you down 

and hold you back 

in such a major way?

Or will you look back on this day 

and be forever thankful 

for the way you spent it 

and the value you created 

by making full use of the time available? 

Will you look back fondly 

and see this day as a 

positive turning point 

that launched you toward fulfillment 

of your most treasured dreams.

Today can eventually become 

a source of regret 

or it can become 

a source of continuing value. 

The way it goes depends entirely 

on how you live the moments 

and hours that are yours 

right now in this day.

Time is the raw material for success 

and achievement, 

and time is what you have 

this very day. 

The time you need to achieve

 the life of your dreams 

is coming to you even now.

No matter what has come before 

or in what circumstances 

you find yourself, 

there is one thing you can always do. 

You can make the very most 

of whatever you have, 

of wherever you find yourself, 

of the time that is available

 for you to use.

 Do that today, 

tomorrow, 

the next day 

and the next, 

and you'll have very little to regret 

and much for which 

to be grateful.

~Ralph Marston

 

To live circumspectly 

means to live with the realization 

that the whole of our lives is connected.  

We are charged to live our lives, 

weighing our decisions and actions 

from every angle and point of view.  

We need to take a walk

 around our decisions, 

visit every room, 

and be certain we like the way 

it looks and feels from every angle

 before we commit ourselves 

to it long term.

~~Lisa Bevere

Kissed the Girls

You've got to think about the big things
While you're doing the small things,
So that all the small things
Go in the right direction.

- Alvin Toffer

Life 

can only be understood

 backwards,
But it must be lived 

forwards.

- Soren Kierkegaard

"Circumstances 

may cause interruptions and delays, 

but never lose sight of your goal. 

Prepare yourself 

in every way you can 

by increasing your knowledge 

and adding to your experience,

 so that you can make 

the most of opportunity 

when it occurs."

~~Mario Andretti

Life is a journey.
It's NOT a guided tour.
So don't miss the ride.
You don't get 

a second shot at it!
