Life Begins Today

Today you have 100% of your life left.~Tom Landry

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.~Maria Robinson

Remember today, for it is the beginning of always. Today marks the start of a brave new future filled with all your dreams can hold. Think truly to the future and make those dreams come true.~Unknown

Yesterday is a canceled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have - so spend it wisely.~Kay Lyons

We cannot allow ourselves to be consumed in the thoughts of yesterday with the would've, should've or could've thoughts. They are self-defeating and torturous. On the other hand, we cannot be taken with the thoughts of tomorrow because sometimes they lead to fear of the unknown. We have to cease today! What your life has become or will become is irrelevant. Your life begins right now, today!

Today you have decisions and choices. Today you have the authority over your situations and circumstances. They may be different than yesterday's issues, but you still have options and power to enact them. Today is a vital step into your destiny. This day will become one of many yesterdays; and you have the creative power to create what the scrapbook of your life will look like.

"I should have gone to college." Good news, colleges are still accepting applications every day and there is no age limitation. If you need funding and can't get scholarships, it's called "student loans".

"I should have settled down and had a family." Good news, people are still getting married every day and doctors are still delivering births. If you can't have a baby naturally there are other alternatives.

"I shouldn't have let myself go." Good news, healthy eating and exercise work and where they fail plastic surgery can jump start you.

I should have done this, I should have done that. Bottom-line is if you really feel that passionate about it, consider the cost (mental, physical, time or financial) and get busy! You are your biggest foe or ally.
