The now

The problem with most people is that they get so caught up with what they 'think" is or isn't happening to them, that they fail to see the things that actually are.  It is important for us all to live our lives one day at a time, and realize that RIGHT NOW this is enough. Reflect on the past for what you have learned from it...but do not grieve over it for it is gone. Be careful not to let new opportunities pass you by while you sit idle thinking about the chances you may have lost.  Look forward to what lies ahead of us in the future, but do not worry about it, for it has not yet arrived. Stop wondering about the future - create it.  Life starts NOW, Live in the present, and make it so great it will be worth thinking about later. Instead of just making the best of everyday,  make the decision to make every day the BEST - it's your choice! Utilize the power of NOW to make a difference in your life. Be the example people want to follow, be the friend no one can seem to repay, be the person you always hoped to become. Don't settle for just being all you can be...be more than you ever expected.  May the strength that you have obtained from the difficulties you've endured help you achieve the goals you desire and the life you deserve! We all have the power and the power to choose to MAKE today a GREAT day.
