The time to come

The future is coming. Be good to it now, because you’ll be a part of it very soon.

In whatever you do today, have some consideration for tomorrow. Live to optimize each moment you’re in, while also doing your best to improve the moments that will come.

Time rewards your diligence and punishes your foolishness. Improve the quality of your life by making the choices that put time on your side.

No matter what has already happened, you always have the opportunity to influence what is yet to happen. Make thoughtful and strategic use of that power.

You can make real progress in a single hour, yet you can make considerably more progress over hundreds or thousands of hours. As you wisely utilize the time you now have, position yourself to make even better use of the time to come.

Your life has the great fortune of existing across time. Be sure to claim the full extent of that fortune.

— Ralph Marston
