Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

Time marches forward

by Ralph Marston

You can’t stop the passage of time. What you can do, every day, year after year, is make good use of all that time.

The process begins with your thoughts. Because what you fill your mind with, most consistently and persistently, directly influences the way you live.

Then of course all those thoughts lead to action. The behaviors you engage in have a major impact on the way your life unfolds.

Do you want time to be good to you? Then be genuinely, purposefully, and strategically good to yourself with the time you have.

Do you also want other people to be good to you? Then as each moment arrives, work to give them honest and compelling reasons to do so.

While time marches forward, continue to provide meaningful value to yourself and others. And benefit from the enduring goodness of all your positive thoughts and efforts.
