Present

From our Motiv8ing Ideas Archive

"The past is history
the future mystery
the present is a GIFT
...that's why it's called the PRESENT!"

Today...right now...is the moment of action, the moment when we choose what we do, what we say, what we think, how we feel.

While the past cannot be changed, we can extract the value, the learning, and the motivation from memories and achievements in the past.

While the future is unknown, we can put in place today the actions and plans that architect the future that we would wish to happen.

Now...this moment...will not return. So the questions we ought to ask ourselves as individuals are "am I making the best use of my time, my skills and my resources right now?" and "what am I contributing towards others / this world right now?"

"What have you done today
to make you feel proud?"
(from "Proud" by Heather Small and Peter Vittese)

Our LifeDesign resources can help you examine your answers to these questions, and help you formulate your personal strategy to make the best use of your time, skills and resources now...and into the future.
