The Art of Goal Achieving: Why Wait Until Tomorrow?
If there’s a goal you want to achieve, or a dream you want to pursue, what’s stopping you from doing it NOW?
You might be familiar with this quote from American historian, Alice Morse Earle:
“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it is called the present.”
Or, if you’ve got kids, you might have heard the cut-down version of that quote in the movie Kung-Fu Panda.
Either way, it’s something worth thinking about.
I’m writing this a week before Halloween, although it could be argued that 2020 has already been one long Halloween. Except not the good kind of Halloween, when we get together with our friends, bob for apples and tell each other horror stories. No, 2020 has been the kind of Halloween when we back away quickly if our friends get too close, can’t bob for apples because we’ll get our face masks wet, and the horror stories have run 24/7 in the world news.
It’s no wonder that so many people are putting off their goals, plans, and dreams until next year, because there’s only 67 days left of this year and most of us just want 2020 to be over with.
After all, 2021 HAS GOT TO BE BETTER than this year, right?
