The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

Stronger tomorrow

You can hide things about yourself from just about anyone, but you can’t really hide them from yourself. You know what you’re up to, and that’s important. Because the person you are to become tomorrow is always watching the person you are today.

How can you live this day so that your future self will find strength and inspiration? What can you do that will make the person you’ll be tomorrow proud to have been the person you are today?

You know who you are right now, you know what you’re doing, what your motivations are, what kind of attitude you maintain. You know and control the real you. Let the person you are today push you forward, positively into the future. Soon you’ll look back on today, and what you see can either give you strength or bring you regret. Choose your actions so that what you do today will truly make you stronger tomorrow.

— Ralph Marston
