Today is all we have. We can’t think about tomorrow when we only have today. But if we do think about tomorrow, then we should plan for tomorrow.
Heart of Hearts
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
We cannot achieve more in life than what we believe in our heart of hearts we deserve to have. — James R. Ball So if we find ourselves not achieving what we set out to do, then maybe is because we don’t believe in our hearts that we don’t deserve success, or we don’t believe in ourselves. We only deserve success when we know in our hearts that we’ve worked so hard to achieve success. We got to believe in ourselves even for the possibility of success. It all right to have ambitions in life to help motivate us. We have every right to have deserved success just as anyone else.

Procrastination likes to eat our time up.
Breathe, Step Back, Think
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Breathe. Step back. Think. Then react. — Unknown
Sometimes our mouth moves before we think. Sometimes we see the trees before we step back to see the forest. Sometimes we forget to breathe before we react. When breathing normally, we’re getting more oxygen to our brain. Then maybe we’re getting the opportunity to think clearly about seeing the event at a wider scope. When we put events into different perspective, we have the chance to react appropriately with a clarity not so much with a knee-jerk reaction.

No Two Are Alike
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.— Helmut Jahn
We’re just like a building, no two are alike. We’re born original. So our goal in life is to be original and stay unique which means to grow into ourselves. We should be what we’re intended to be because we will be happier in the long run. We will be able to express honestly to the world what we always meant to be because we can be true to ourselves and others. We can all bring our unique styles together, and that’s what make the world interesting with a lot of variety. Variety is more stimulating to our senses. We don’t need to copy someone else’s uniqueness but become more of our unique selves.

Imagine It, Achieve It, and Become It
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it. — William Arthur Ward
It is incredible that we can imagine an idea and turn it into something real that can affect everyone who touches it or are touched by it. It is wonderful that we can dream of doing something in our future self that keeps us going today. The power of our imagination is that we can see it in our mind’s eyes the way we want it before it’s ever created. In our dreams we see ourselves doing what we most want or desire in our lives and become it if we want it bad enough.

New Choices Today
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Every day brings new choices. — Martha Beck
Every day is an opportunity to make a choice or accurately make new choices. Choices are as full as our minds. It depends on the mind on how many options we can see that’s in front of us. It is not enough to see the choices; we can take some that are relevant to our situation. Some decisions are life-changing that can affect our entire life. Behind the choices we make, comes an opportunity to shake up our world. Every day also brings us an opportunity to make our lives better than before if we want. If we’re already content with our lives, then we can be grateful that we have another day to express our essential self.

A Different Angle
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over. — F. Scott Fitzgerald
Starting over doesn’t mean it is the end of the world. It doesn’t mean we’ve wasted time. It is better to start something over sooner rather than later. It becomes a problem when doing the same things repeatedly that will give us a better outcome. It is better to try different approaches or look at the problem from a difference angle. We can be persistent all we want to, but if we continue without reconsidering another way, then we’re doomed to cliché patterns that only gets us nowhere. Instead, we have an opportunity to start over with a different way of looking at things.

Dancing In the Rain of Life
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain. — Vivian Greene
Life is never going to be the exactly the way we think it should be. We have no control over that. But for us to reduce our anxiety we ought to learn to accept the roughages of life because this is how we embrace life and how we feel most alive. This how we dance in the rain of life. Since we’re a part of life, let us participate instead of standing on the sideline of life. We’re going to get some bumps and bruises, but we will also get some life back into our lives.

No One Is Without Struggle
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Kindness begins with the understanding that we all struggle. — Charles Gassman
When we’re more accepting of our struggles, we become more empathetic to others who’s struggling. We all have struggles we deal with on a daily basis. Accepting ourselves is another form of kindness. We need others that are important to us to have some understanding of our struggles. We’re all in this together. We all have needs and wants to be met. It is nice to know that we’re not alone and that we can talk to a friend. There is comfort in knowing that no one is without struggles in life.

Best and Forget
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Don’t stress. Do your best and forget the rest. — Unknown
When we know we can only do our best, and forget about the rest, we won’t stress. Stress is worrying about making things be smooth sailing. We just got to be satisfied with our best work instead of worrying about making everything perfect which is impossible to do. We don’t need all stress or unnecessary stress. We need just enough pressure to make us move. Forgetting about things that make us stressful or we allowed into our lives can be very helpful in the long run. However, focusing on a task can lower our stress level because our best is all that’s necessary.

A Different Light
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Always end the day with a positive thought. No matter how hard things were, tomorrow’s a fresh opportunity to make it better.— Unknown
When we had a bad day, it is easier to spend time obsessing over the unpleasant events. Spending time obsessing over them only makes it difficult to end the day with positive thoughts. Having a bad day doesn’t mean that our whole day was bad. Because it started out bad doesn’t mean we have to end our day badly. Discounting the positive is counter productive. We can always find something positive in our day. That’s where having a sense of humor can come into play, because humor can help us look at a difficult situation in a different light.
