SIEZE THE MOMENT! Opportunities are constantly either coming to you or by you. Today was once the future from which you expected so much in the past. Horatio Dresser said, "The ideal never comes. Today is ideal for him who makes it so." Live for today. Don't let what you have within your grasp today be lost entirely because the future intrigues you and the past disheartens you.
Doing your best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment. When can you live if not now? All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today. Seneca said, "Begin at once to live." Ellen Metcalf remarked, "There are many people who are at the right place at the right time but don't know it." It is okay to take time to plan, but when the next moment of action has arrived, stop thinking and go for it!
Marie Edgeworth declared,
There is no moment like the present. The man who will not
execute his resolutions when they are fresh on him can have
no hope from them afterwards; for they will be dissipated, lost
and perished in the hurry and scurry of the world or sunk in
the slough of indolence.
The most important thing in our lives is what we are doing now: "This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it."
Martial warned, "Tomorrow, life is too late; live today."
Wayne Dyer observes, "Now is all we have. Anything that has ever happened, anything that is ever going to happen to you, is just a thought." Today, well lived, will prepare you for both the opportunities and obstacles of tomorrow.
