“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely.”~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Leave yesterday there, don't bring it with you! Too often we bring along all the baggage from yesterday to today an it steals from your day. Finish each day and be done with it!! Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day. Treat it as such. The key to being able to do this is to be present. Be present in every moment. this is a challenge for most people, because they have so many things to do and think about. Our society has sped up so much that it tries to not give us any other choice then speeding up to stay with it. We do have a choice. We don't have to speed up and we can take things at our own pace. That's another part of being present. Choosing to BE present.
Action:
When talking to someone today, give them your whole, undivided attention and remain in the moment. You will be surprised what you hear. The more you hear, the more you know. Be present today!
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Living Out of Your Imagination
"Live out of your imagination, not your history."~Stephen Covey
Are you living out of your history or your imagination? Think about that before you answer...Most of us are living out of our history, whether we realize it or not. We continue to do the same thing, over and over and expect different (better) results. Einstein described that as insanity, yet there we are, doing it again and again.
Sometimes we have a bad history and we continue to punish ourselves by living it over and over again. Here's the thing...at any moment, you can choose to have a different history! You don't have to live in the pain of your past history, because everything works together for you and while you might have experienced loss, there is a silver lining just waiting to be seen! But if you are looking at the door that closed, you will miss it.
What does it mean to "live out of your imagination?" Do you know? I think that it means that as we imagine things, we should strive for them, rather than just think about them and do nothing. Think of a time when you had a good idea...thought about it for a while...AND THEN FORGOT IT! The universe likes speed and you need to capitalize on that. Don't let fear hold you back from "Living out of your imagination..."
