Now is the Only Time
You can't do it five minutes from now. There is only now. After five minutes passes, it will still be now. Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow never comes. Do you look around and see things that need to be done that have been neglected? Why do they need to be done? If they need to be done, why have they been neglected? What are you doing now?
Now is your most valuable asset. Now is the sliver of time that distinguishes the future from the past. Now is the only time you have to act. Life is a conglomeration of nows. Now is a special moment. Consider the fact that it is always now. It is never yesterday - despite desires to change the past. It is never tomorrow - despite wishes for today to pass. It is always now. Accept it.
Now is your life. Choose wisely what you do with it. What is your top priority today? Is that top priority a celebration of achievement - whether major or minor? Is that top priority placing a building block for your future? Will your top priority today help strengthen or maintain your positive relationships? Will your top priority today get you closer to where you want to go? If not, why is it a priority? Answer honestly.
Have you ever heard someone say, "When I get more time, I'll __________"? You can't get more time. Time is limited for everyone. No one manufactures time. There is no store where you can buy extra time. The time you have is always now. Use now to add value to your life. Use now to get ahead. Use now to improve your relationships. Use now to realize your true potential as a human being. Use now to succeed. There truly is no other time except now. Godspeed.
