The time coming your way

The time in this day, month, year will pass quickly. Be prepared to make full use of it by knowing clearly what you want to do with it before it arrives.

Time is a limited resource for everyone, no matter how many other resources they have. Yet when you make intentional use of time, there are no limits to what you can do with it.

What do you regret not doing because you didn’t have enough time? Let the sting of that regret motivate you to make better use of all the time that’s now coming your way.

Don’t merely wish that you had started sooner. Transform that wish into determination, into action going forward, into achievement.

You won’t get a do-over of time already spent, yet you get something even better. You get fresh, new time, starting right now, along with the wisdom to invest it well.

Be clear on what you intend to do with the time that’s coming your way. Respect the value of the time you have, and that time will serve you well.

Place of power

Are you inside the problem, or are you outside it? The answer can be, both.

Physically, financially, socially, you’re inside the problem. Mentally, spiritually, you can situate yourself outside of it.

You can put yourself in a more objective, creative, effective position. You can visualize your way to a perspective that empowers you to successfully handle the problem.

You can think and feel what you choose, without limits, simply by choosing. You never have to be stuck or stymied by any situation.

Put yourself in a place of power. Put yourself in a place where you can transform problems into opportunities, disappointments into determination.

Using the power of your mind and spirit, make your perspective bigger and higher than any problem you encounter. With that perspective, you can find and follow a positive way forward.

Small improvements

Imagine lifting a five pound weight today, and tomorrow adding just one percent to the weight, and lifting it again. Continue adding just one percent each day, and at the end of one year you would be lifting 185 pounds.

The effort necessary to achieve a one percent improvement is barely noticeable. Yet those small improvements, continued and compounded, quickly add up.

What could you do today to make your life tomorrow just a little bit better? What could you do each day to continue that incremental improvement?

Challenge yourself to invest a spare moment, a spare effort, a spare dollar, to benefit your future. Seek a small improvement, and then a small improvement on the improvement.

You may not have access to vast resources, yet you absolutely have access to this powerful strategy. When you’re always improving, those improvements are sure to lead somewhere great.

You have the opportunity right now to do one thing just a little better than you did it before. Take that opportunity, and over time you’ll create massive new value in your world.
