A TOMORROW THATS OVER!

The problem with waiting until tomorrow
is that when it finally
arrives, it is called today.
Today is yesterday's tomorrow.
The question is what did
we do with its opportunity?
All too often we will waste tomorrow as we wasted
yesterday,and as we are wasting today.
All that could have been accomplished can
easily elude us, despite our intentions,
until we inevitably discover that the things
that might have been have slipped from our
embrace a single, unused day at a time.
Each of us must pause frequently to remind ourselves
that the clock is ticking.
The same clock that began to tick from the moment
we drew our first breath will also someday cease.
Time is the great equalizer of all mankind.
It has taken away the best and the worst of us
without regard for either. Time offers opportunity but
demands a sense of urgency.
When the game of life is finally over,
there is no second chance to
correct our errors. The clock that is ticking away
the moments of our lives does
not care about winners and losers.
It does not care about who succeeds or who fails.
It does not care about excuses, fairness or equality.
The only essential issue is how we played the game.
Regardless of a person's current age,
there is a sense of urgency that
should drive them into action now - this very moment.
We should be constantly aware of the value
of each and every moment of our lives -
moments that seem so insignificant that their loss often goes unnoticed.
We still have all the time we need.
We still have lots of chances -
lots of opportunities - lots of years to show what we can do.
For most of us, there will be a tomorrow,
a next week, a next month, and a next year.
But unless we develop a sense of urgency,
those brief windows of time will be sadly wasted,
as were the weeks and months and years before them.
There isn't an endless supply!
So as you think of your dreams and goals
of your future tomorrow, begin
today to take those very important first
steps to making them all come to life.
