Dale Carnegie said,
Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
So much of our mental health is hurt by, being here and wanting to be there.
As a result, worrying about the future hurts our business and personal lives. Not to mention the anxiety it causes.
Every day we wake up we have new opportunities to do something meaningful. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Today.
What we do in the present is what will determine what our tomorrow looks like.
Here’s something I know for sure: If you’re ruminating about bad past decisions you will be stuck and depressed. If you’re worrying about what’s going to happen in the future, you’ll be anxious.
Both of which take up too much space in your mind. The only true way to make good decisions, to help other people feel important, and for you to be happier, is to be present.
So here’s your Action Item and Mission, should you decide to accept it: When you wake up tomorrow, ask yourself this; What can I focus on, what can I take action on, and what can I be grateful for, right now? Now is when it all starts. A calmer mind. A happier you. 😊
Start small. Spend just a few minutes being present and doing nothing else. Meditate. Pray. Sit in nature. Close your eyes and follow your breath.
Being present is a skill that can be mastered like any other.
And your colleagues, friends, and family will appreciate your fully being there when they need you. And you’ll be better for that.
Yesterday’s history and tomorrow’s a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why we call it The Present.
Thank you for watching. Have a rewarding week and I'll see you next time. Remember, one hand washes the other, and together they get clean.

8moEven the Buddha said it thousands of years ago: "Do not Dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." Sayings that last this long must have validity. So, I listen.

8moDale Carnegie's quote is so succinct but true! Let's stop with the worrying and start being warriors!

If our faith or our religion does not help us in the conditions we are in, we have either a further struggle to go through, or we had better abandon that faith and religion." Pray!
