This day that’s here

This is the day that’s here. This is the day you now have.

You won’t gain anything today by wishing for what might have been. You’re not going to create any value by filling your thoughts with resentment for whatever brought you to this point.

What matters now is what actions you take to fill today with the best you have. What matters now is making positive, meaningful use of the day that is.

This day has the very real potential of being a turning point in your life. Years from now, you could be looking back on today with an overflowing sense of satisfaction and gratitude.

What can you do, right now, to bring that about? What can you put into this day that will grow ever more precious as time goes on?

Today provides the time and the place for you to carry your life forward. So where do you choose today, right now, to go?

— Ralph Marston
