Proactive efforts

by Ralph Marston

Identify an action you’ll be thankful to have completed. Get to work today and do it.

Minimize the regret and maximize the gratitude in your future. Transform time that will quickly disappear into value that endures.

Go beyond wishing and planning and procrastinating. Take good and useful action now.

Refuse to accept any more excuses from yourself. Experience the satisfaction of achieving timely and meaningful results.

The opportunities of today are yours. Make full use of them while you can.

Tomorrow you’ll look back and be thankful for doing so. And you’ll be even more motivated to continue your proactive efforts again and again.
