“The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.”
– Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States
One of my philosophies of life is that what we do each day and who we do it with determines our satisfaction in the moment and manifests our future.
Consider yourself as a gardener, where each day you sow the seeds of success in your professional and personal world, and take care to water and weed your crop throughout the growing season to reap the harvest of a better future.
Exercise:
Take particular note of the daily behaviors and habits that are contributing to a better future.
Recognize where some of your daily efforts or lack of action are creating a less than desirable future and know that it’s not too late to start over tomorrow – because the future, as Lincoln suggests, comes one day at a time.
