Winners are self-motivated. They don’t wait for someone else to raise the bar. They raise it themselves. Champions in life arrive early and stay late. They know what they’re there for. They don’t have to be told five times to do something or be given a five minute lecture on how to do it. You give them the challenge, and they get it done.
There are people who work at 50 percent of their ability and who are successful. Then there are the ones who give 110 percent of everything they’ve got and barely make it. Which one would you want? I’d rather have people who give it their all and walk off the field knowing that. In business, life as in athletics, champion is the person who at the end says, “I gave it everything I had, win or lose, you got the best I can give”.
My friends, the ideal never comes, but today is ideal for him who makes it so. Live for today. Don’t let what you have within your grasp today be missed entirely because only the future intrigued you, and the past disheartened you.
Mason argued that doing the 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. Begin to live today friend. I believe that 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 time of action has arrived, stop thinking and go for it.
You’ve got to know the real value of today, since the future that you long and dream for begins today. The regrets that most people experience in life come from failing to act when they have an opportunity. Dunning said, great opportunities come to all, but many do not know that they have met them. The only preparation to take advantage of them is to watch what each day brings.
Few people know when to rise to the occasion. Most only know when to sit down. Many do spend too much time dreaming of the future, never realizing that a little of it arrives every day. I agree with what Schabacker said that, every day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons.
What are you doing with your TODAY?
