• What You Can Change

  Set longterm goals, but focus on the work in front of you.

  The future is not knowable.

  Tomorrow out of your control.

  In fact, tomorrow may never come.

  The only thing you have the power to affect is the work that is directly in front of you.

  Focus on that.

  Put your effort into what you can change, what you can improve upon, and what progress you can make in this moment.

  You have no idea how things will turn out, but that is not your concern.

  There is no sense in concerning yourself with that which you can neither control nor change.

  Your only concern is what you can do now to improve your life, your circumstances, and yourself.

  The rest will work itself out or it won’t.

• Not Forever

  This will not last forever.

  Whatever you are experiencing now will pass in time.

  For better or worse, everything will change.

  Nothing is permanent.

  This is not your fate.

  Do not cling too tightly to this moment.

  It will slip right out of your grasp if you try.

  Nor should you take this moment too lightly.

  It is the only one like this that you will ever experience.

  Life is beautiful, tragic, and fleeting.

  Be present for it as it passes because pass it will.

• Here Now

  Every interaction is an agreement to give your time away.

  No one and no thing can give you your time back.

  Time is a non-renewable resource.

  Be careful to whom or what you give it and for what reason.

  Each and every moment is precious.

  Every passing second deserves your attention.

  It is easier than ever to get distracted.

  Resist the temptation to look away from what is in front of you.

  Be here now for who and matters.

  Be here now for your life.

  All you have is time and time is fleeting.

• Enjoy The Present

  Worry is a story you tell yourself about things that may never come to pass. 

  It is a story you tell yourself about how you will experience a future that is uncertain and that exists only in your imagination. 

  You cannot predict the future by worrying about it. 

  What is going to be will be. 

  What you can do by worrying, however, is to ruin the way you experience the present. 

  Worry takes you out of this moment, the moment that you actually have the power to  influence, and puts you into a future that is a lie and over which you have no control. 

  Worry divides you. 

  It separates your attention from your existence and makes you less present, less aware, and less responsive to this moment. 

  It distracts you from what is happening now for the sake of what may or may not happen later. 

  Worrying is disempowering. 

  If you want to have a better future, focus on what you have the power to change. 

  Make a decision to be present in this moment, to do what you can now, and let the future worry about itself. 

  Life is going to happen whether you worry about it or not, so you may as well choose to enjoy it as it does.

• The Stream Of Life

  Wounds heal.

  Scars fade away.

  Smiles turn into tears and tears turn into smiles.

  Relationships and experiences become memories.

  Life cannot be held onto.

  It will slip right through your fingers if you try.

  But you can enjoy this moment.

  You can be here, now.

  You can do your best to get as much out of every second of your existence as possible and to pack as much as you possibly can into the ever passing stream of life.
