Don't "worry" about tomorrow, "worry" about today

I used to constantly worry about "tomorrow" what was going to happen, would it happen in the way that I thought it would? I would lie awake worrying about things I had no control over, and would wake tired and unable to do the things I was hoping to get done.

But it has dawned on me over time, that I only have control over my actions "today". I may not be here tomorrow, so why should I waste time and energy on something that may never happen. Yes I have long term plans and goals, but now I have it figured out - it is those tiny decisions that I make today that will impact on where I am with regards to my goals and dreams tomorrow.

I can't say that I want to lose 20lbs by Christmas if I choose to eat chocolate and potato crisps today, sit on my backside and not exercise. A few days like that and I will have forgotten that I wanted to lose 20lbs and may "tell" myself - OK that was a little unrealistic I'll settle for 10lbs by Christmas.

The decisions that you make, every conversation that you have, every negative and angry thought that crosses your mind and comes out of your mouth, every time you choose inaction over action will impact on you and your dreams and goals. Heck it may even impact on your ability to hang onto your job if your attitude stinks today.

I am convinced more than ever that I am in the business of ME inc. And if I want my "business" to succeed then I have to make sure that everything that I do today, will have a positive impact on where my "business" is tomorrow. For example, if you want your business to be rich, then don't spend all your money today. If you want your business to be healthy, then eat well and exercise today. If you want your business to have healthy "thoughts and philosophies", then read and watch those things that will have a positive impact on yourself and the business of "you". And tomorrow really will take care of itself.
