Today

If you have one eye on yesterday,

and one eye on tomorrow,

you're going to be cockeyed today.

Today

Stop concentrating on what happened yesterday. Stop anticipating what may happen tomorrow. Start putting all of your energy and focus into today. We spend so much time living in our past and future that we forget to enjoy what's right in front of us. We take so much time out of our days by not really participating in them or focusing on what's currently happening all around us. Do your remember actually driving to work this morning? What you saw, smelled and experienced along the way? Did you already eat your breakfast and not even taste it? Have you made your to-do-list and already were wishing for the day to be over? Well stop living in your head and start being present in your life. Enjoy every moment of today from who you meet, the conversations you have, the beauty that you walk past, the savory smells of life (and coffee) and above all, make sure you let yourself truly be alive today. Smile and mean it. Say something and make your words count. Do something that brings instant joy to you and others. Spend today present in every moment and you will start to see today, and every day hence forth, as a miracle and a gift not to be wasted.
