Living for Today

It's great to look back at old memories and happy times. It's amazing how great memories can still put a smile on our faces. It's also great to plan for the future. I'm a big believer in meditation and creative visualization. I know that what I focus on with conviction can become my reality.

Both the past and the future are great places to spend time. But to truly make changes, we need to focus on today. Some of our goals take work, work that we choose to do to follow our chosen paths. And many things like health, well-being and vitality are something we need to spend time on each and every day.

But some things are just, well, not too pleasant to do. If you're trying to lose weight, it's not likely that you look forward to the challenge every day. Not all of us are enthused about exercise although we know with certainly that it is a necessity, not a luxury.

So each day, remember that to make our futures the way we desire them to be, we need to do what is necessary today. Not everything may be pleasant, but it sure will be worthwhile.
