“Goals bring the future into the present, and the present is the only time we can take action. Setting goals makes it possible to do something today to create the future you want.”
I’ve read that paragraph from Zig Ziglar’s book “Born to Win” at least 15 times this week. It’s true, we can’t live in the past or the future, yet that’s where so much of us spend so much time in our heads.
The crazy part is, the present we’re living today is because of the actions we took yesterday (or months, or usually years ago). The present we’re going to be living tomorrow (or 5, 10, even 15 years from now) is due to the actions we take today.
Like they say about buying houses or planting trees, the best time to do it was 20 years ago, the second best time is now. The present is the only time we can take action, not yesterday, and not tomorrow. What future do you want to start working on today?
To your success,
