If you are alive today, you know about planning, goals, urgency, and inspiration. You may not be as good at practicing what you know as you are at knowing it, but you do know their value in getting what you want.
If you are an investor, a stay-at-home-dad or mom, a student, an employee, if you’re out of work, we are all confronted with the same dilemma in getting the results we want in any project and across all platforms. That dilema is the triad
Yesterday - Today - Tomorrow!
- How much do you rely on lessons learned from yesterday to plan today or even tomorrow?
- What amount of focus should be placed on living for the moment?
- Why is the notion of tomorrow such a compelling vision for each of us, we have never been there & neve will?
Here’s something that will surely offer some direction and perspective:
Today
Yesterday is a history book of lessons
An archive of memories and lore
Yesterday is a faded fogged dimension
Behind a glass labeled nevermore
Yesterday is a wise experienced teacher
Who teaches what the lived and wise men say
Yesterday instructs and warns and tutors
So I can learn and live a great day
Tomorrow is an out of focus future
Where nothing is real and distant from today
Tomorrow is a wish but not a promise
A reachless place that’s just too far away
Tomorrow is a hopeful fiction story
But has not guarantee and no say
Tomorrow can be only slightly molded
But planning, working, loving here today
Today is all I have that I can work with
From where I rise to where I lay my head
My yesterdays are used and lie behind me
Tomorrow lies beyond my covered bed
Today I can show loyalty to someone
Today I can dispense forgiving grace
It’s now I can use yesterday’s wise lessons
To make this world a safe and better place
Today I dream about a great tomorrow
And work and vote and supplicate and play
Today I make a masterpiece of living
For all I have to work in is today
