“Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today.”

In our journey of personal and professional excellence, it’s easy to get caught up in past experiences, whether positive or negative.

While reflection is valuable, dwelling excessively on yesterday can rob us of the precious moments we have right now.

Today is a gift, brimming with new opportunities for learning, growth, and positive change. By focusing on the present, we open ourselves to fresh perspectives and innovative solutions.

As we navigate life’s challenges, let’s remember to honor our past without being anchored by it. Instead, Let’s channel our energy into making the most of today to create even better tomorrows.

EXERCISE:

How much of your today’s are used up by your yesterdays?

How would a clean slate for each new day help you realize far more of your potential for growth and achievement?

“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.”

How much of your day do you spend reflecting on the past with either a sense of great satisfaction or perhaps regret?

How much of your day do you spend hopeful about the future or perhaps consumed by worry?

If this time were converted into money – let’s say $100.00/hour, how much would you have spent, or in this case, wasted, with little or nothing to show for it?

EXERCISE

Consider taking Mother Theresa’s coaching to begin spending more time today pursuing and accomplishing what you sincerely desire. What would be possible if you did this each and every day?
