There Is No Time Like "Present" And There Is No Present Like "Time"

A man is not old until regrets take a place of dream. Regrets looks back. Worry looks around. Vision looks up. Life can be understood backward, but it must be lived forward. The past should only be viewed with gratitude for the good things. So look backward with gratitude and look forward with confidence. Your past is the start of your fresh start.

A wise man says "I've shut the door on yesterday and thrown the key away; tomorrow holds no fear for me, since I've found today". Use the past as a launching pad. Dreams of the future are more valuable than the history of the past. Never build your future around your past. The past is over.

To succeed, you must be willing to shed part of your previous life. What lies behind us is insignificant compared to what lies ahead. Don't make the mistake of letting yesterday use up too much of today.

One of the deceptive beliefs of those who live an unproductive life is that "today" is not an important day. Everyday comes to us bearing gifts. Do what need to, when it ought to be done whether you like it or not. Scratch opportunity when it itches.

Life is made up of constant call to action. Time flies but it's up to us to be the pilot. Productive people get ahead during the time that others waste. Make quick use of the moment because you postpone your life, when you can't make up your mind.

There is no time like "present" and there is no present like "time". Those who take advantage of their advantage, obtain the advantage.

Refuse To Live a Targetless Life

The ability to set a goal is the master skill to success. Success is goals, all else is commentary. You cannot hit a target you cannot see, if you don't have one. One of the greatest mistakes and a waste of life is living without a clear purpose or goal. A life without clear goals is a life doomed to failure.  Any man who selects a goal in life which can be fully achieved has already defined his own limitation. So the clearer you are about your goal, the more rapidly you'll attract people and circumstances into your life to help make that goal a reality.  Most people have their eye on the wrong goal. Is more money, a higher position or more influence your goal? These are not goals but are the by-products of true goals. We should work to become, not acquire.  Measure wealth not by things you have, but by the things you have for which you would not take money. Happiness is not a reward - it's a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it's result. ...

Your Potential Is Your Purpose

Dr Myles Munroe shares a powerful idea that I would like to share with you. He says that the wealthiest places in the world are not the gold mines of South America or the oil fields of Iraq or Iran. They're not the diamond mines of South Africa or the banks of the world. The wealthiest place on the planet is just down the road. It is the cemetery. There lie buried, companies that were never started, inventions that were never made, best-selling books that were never written and masterpieces that were never painted. In the cemetery is buried the greatest treasure of untapped potential. There is a treasure within you that must come out. It is your potential. Don’t go to the grave with your treasure still within you. "There lies within each person a huge reservoir of untapped potential for achievement, success, happiness, health and greater prosperity. It's like an ocean unsailed, a new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channeled ...

The Obstacles in Our Way

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one’s condition.
