LGBH Thought for the Day, Day 2...

 What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. 

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Climb

I hear a lot of my fellow Realtors talking about "The past".  The past market, the past few years, the past few months.  I also have overheard a lot of worry about the future...what will happen tomorrow, the next day, next week...next year?

But, it seems to me that I overhear very little about what they are doing RIGHT NOW to make a difference TODAY.  The only thing that will impact the future is what is done today.  And the past, while important to look at for perspective and lessons is, well, unchangeable...done, finished, behind you.

I say dig deep inside.  Search for a meaningful action right now.  Look within to find out what you can offer this day and implement it.

We get through life step by step, we climb mountains one foothold, one handhold at a time...eventually, through daily perseverence you reach the top...and then what?  Well, if you want to keep growing and challenging yourself...you start all over again, looking deep inside for the next challenge for the day or the moment and you move toward it step by step.

Live good. Be happy. Climb high.

Keep watch daily on my blog...I will be posting one of these a day until I run out of inspiration. (and that will probably not happen...I have loads of inspiration!)

Cheers!  :)

Live good. Be happy.

Mimi, your thoughts in this post remind me that we should live in the present. The past is gone and if we reflect on it we know about lessons learned. The future holds our dreams. But, we only have today to work with, to shape into something. What is inside us, our attitude, is such a key for making the most of today.
