Exercise: after reading this post, stare at that list and say to yourself, I can achieve this.To begin i believe we all have a new set of to-do list you made from the last Post, so we can now put them into great actions
Today is the best time to prepare for tomorrow.
You want to achieve those things tomorrow, start with today. Today means this present day. Don't bother yourself about tomorrow
- tomorrow is a gamble
- you don't know and can't know what tomorrow has for you
- tomorrow is like a blank cheque
- you can only make tomorrow good when you make the best out of today.
You want to know how important today is?
Today is the best tool you have only meant for your operation. No one can operate your today as you want it to be.
Bob Dylan said:
There's only one day at a time here, then it's tonight and then tomorrow will be a today againTomorrow means the day after today.
Tomorrow is another today, don't waste today on thinking of tomorrow. The only thing tomorrow wishes for you to do is to prepare today for tomorrow. You also have to bear in mind that you had the best today doesn't guarantee the best tomorrow, so you work every today. You also need to be ready for disappointment you might get from tomorrow despite your great preparation, your preparations will sometimes help you to improve tomorrow. If you made today the best, it's now another task to enter tomorrow and make it better.
Wake up! Today will die tomorrow! That's how important today is.
In a funeral service, there's always a session for making speeches whether good or bad about the deceased person. Now the question is,
When tomorrow comes, what do want to say about today?
Do you want to regret today or praise today?
There was a time in my life I was writing an exam, I saw so many questions I could not answer and I regretted the days before that day, I wept but it's gone, what can I do to it? But I made that day a good one by reading my books again despite what had happened. If I could answer those questions and I praised my past days before that day, I could spoil that day by forgetting to read my books thinking that's all. This story implies that despite the disappointments, today is a new day.
How can you use today?
The fact remains that you can only build on the successes and achievements of yesterday to make today a better one. It doesn't exempt me because I read my last post before I write up a new one. I always remember yesterday is gone, tomorrow is yet to come and all I have now is today. My achievements today has no limit unless today runs out that means I can achieve as much as I can today until am out of time. Apple is a bit motivation for me because they never cease to produce new phones even as good as the past ones are.
If you want to know how to use today, always put in mind that today will become a yesterday and your tomorrow will become a today. Whatever happens tomorrow will depend on what you have done today. Apple wouldnt have had good sales from their new phones if they never produced a good one before. If you want to be called upon tomorrow, lay that foundation today. People who are great in life didn't just get there they had planned their today well and they still never stop planning their today, they want more achievements, more success. How much you with no achievement yet.
Say this with me "my today is better than yesterday but my tomorrow must be better than today"
Look at that list and start today, it will eventually turn out to be a great tomorrow.
In the next post we will know how to apply today's post to our new to-do list
