Put No Trust In The Morrow

"Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero." Means "Seize the day, put no trust in the morrow."~Horace


We've all heard "Seize the day," but most people don't include the rest...which might be even more important. For several reasons.

"Put no trust in the morrow." Here's the deal. Tomorrow is promised to no one! But most of the time, we proceed as if we are going to live forever and never think about it. There's another quote that says "Put off until tomorrow only what you want to leave unfinished if you die tonight." (Or something like that) We are mortal beings and we can go at any time. Kind of makes you at some things differently, doesn't it.

Action:
"Seize the day." Be present now. Be in the moment, only in this moment and your world will expand exponentially. Most of us find it difficult to be in the moment, we are either thinking about what has already happened (and we can't do anything about) or thinking about what's to come (which we can only prepare for). When you are in the moment, you are truly living.

That being said "Put no trust in the morrow."  Stop putting off the important things in life and get doing them!

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Tomorrow Is Promised To No One!

Don't Allow Anyone To Push You Back

"Life moves forward not backwards. It cannot move back and you cannot go back. It is like time. It is time. Do not let words or judgments that people put on you stop you from moving forward. You have no time to waste to allow anyone to push you back. You must move forward to keep up with who you are and what you want in life."

Are you moving forward or are you moving backwards? Life always moves forward, but sometimes we get stuck and don't move forward or even go backwards, but all the while, life continues to move forward!  We continue to get further and further behind.

Too often, we allow other people's words and judgments push us backwards. One of my favorite quotes says, "It is none of my business what you think of me." Don't allow other people's judgments of you and your work push you back. If you allow their judgments to change who you are, you stop being authentic.  Stay who you are, not what someone else wants you to be!

The best way to keep moving forward is to stay PRESENT.  Stay in the moment and you will keep moving forward. Life is about being in the present, not the past or the future.  Everything happens in the present!  Remember that.

You must move forward to keep up with who you are and what you want in life. Keep moving forward, keep being who you are and keep going for what you want out of life. Do it now!!

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Get Inspired By Life

Get inspired by life. Get inspired by the possibilities for friendship, love, achievement and fulfillment.

Get excited about the opportunities for growth and rich experience that come with every turn of events. But be sure that you are looking for the growth and rich experience. See it. Live it. Get excited about living in a world that's filled with abundance in every direction. Can you see the abundance around you? If not, look around again. It's there, you just have to open your eyes to it.

Get passionate about making a difference in your own life and in the lives of those you can affect. Get passionate about expressing and fulfilling those dreams that are uniquely yours. Stop playing small, it serves no purpose to the world to play smaller than you are supposed to.

Give meaning to each moment. Be in each moment. Don't be thinking about the past or the future. Be in each moment. Give the best of yourself to everything you do.

Get inspired by life. Get inspired by the possibilities for friendship, love, achievement and fulfillment.

Live in the Moment

"If we are ever to enjoy life, now is the time, not tomorrow or next year. Today should always be our most wonderful day."~Thomas Dreier

Are you putting off enjoyment of life until you get......whatever? Why? Today is the only day that we have and tomorrow is promised to no one, yet we continue to put off our happiness until later. Why? Do you think that when you get that new car, then you will enjoy life more? Or that new house? Or all those other toys that we want? We Americans have been great at putting off happiness until we GET something. And then realizing that whatever it was, didn't bring us the happiness we wanted

Today should always be our most wonderful day! Live in the moment and be fully there. There's a great quote that says "Where ever you are, BE there." Most people are always looking back or looking ahead and are unable to be in the moment. If you are able to be completely in the moment, your life will change dramatically! Try it the next time you have a meeting. Be only there. Don't think about your next appointment, but be fully invested in the person you are meeting with. You'll be amazed at how much better the meeting will go and how you may be able to serve them in ways that you had no idea of...until you were present.

The Law of Authenticity says that "The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself." When you meet with people, give them that gift and your life will change for the better.

"If we are ever to enjoy life, now is the time, not tomorrow or next year. Today should always be our most wonderful day."
