Bits of Wisdom Podcast #13

“One today is worth two tomorrows; what I am to be, I am now becoming.” Benjamin FranklinMost of us have dreams of becoming more, ideas of a better life. We can see a brighter future in our mind’s eye. This could be more money, sending kids to college, buying a plot of premium land, or just having more freedom. To attain any goal, we must trade something in. The longer we put that ‘something’ off, the further we move away from our dreams. Why? Because time and tide wait for no man. The ‘something’ we must trade in to reach our goals is today. It’s the only day that matters. What we do with the here and now—the present—is the only thing that can move us closer or further from our dreams. If we stack up enough successful days, we can have our heart’s desire.
