Good Morning
What does today look like? Does it look exactly like yesterday? Apart from different clothes that is? Worse still are you wearing the same clothes that you wore yseterday? Is it any wonder that today and every day seems like groundhog day, when you cannot distinguish between today and the many yesterdays that have gone before. You are living your life in a dispirited, confused haze.
We tell ourselves that today - today is going to be different. I am going to do.....and .....
and we get to the end of the day, tired, frustrated and having no sense that you have made any impact on .... anything.
You stagger home from work, eat, have a drink or two to numb the pain of dejection, watch some television and head off to bed.....telling yourself that tomorrow you will.....
and
Why is today exactly like yesterday and the day before and the day before?
Did you know that you only have one chance to live today. Although given my previous comments you would think we had all the time in the world, and it doesn't matter if we don't live up to our potential or our own personal expectations, after all there's tomorrow. You can make the changes we need to make tomorrow, when you're more in the mood.
Did you know there will never be a better time than today. There will never be a good time, a time when you're in the right mood for long enough to do what you need to do, a time when the kids have left home, when you've eaten all the bad stuff in the fridge, when the weather changes, or whatever it is you are waiting for to pull you out of the mire of if, but and maybe....
So if you are living your life in a blurry haze, it's time to ask yourself what it is you want and want to achieve. Are you not making any progress because you keep asking for the same things out of life?
Well it's time to throw away the old list, it's time you designed a new life. And you do that by doing as well as reading, by making a decision rather than allowing others to make decisions for you. Working out the reasons why you want something, and what problems you are hiding behind.
Don't be afraid of change, after all it's one of the constants in this thing called life.
