Real and present

Now is when you live your life. Now is when you get work done.

Here is where you address the problems. This is the place from which you follow your dreams and achieve your objectives.

These are the circumstances you must contend with. This is the situation in which you operate.

You might have imagined and wished for a more ideal environment. Yet here is where you are, now is the time you have.

Instead of waiting for someday, make full use of this day. Rather than wishing for a perfect scenario, figure out what to do with the real and present one you have.

You’re entirely capable of moving forward from wherever you happen to be. You happen to be just where you are, so pick yourself up, focus on your purpose, and get going.

— Ralph Marston
