There are three days in all of our lives that are obviously all important and they're highlighted in the title of this article "Yesterday, today and tomorrow". So, let's commence by talking about yesterday. There are a whole lot of people who appear to be forever living in the past, bemoaning the fact that something failed in the past. You I'm sure know the kinds of people I'm referring to here today. They continually reminisce about, as they refer to it the "good old days" when things were a whole lot different, much better in their opinion.
But my friend, this is a completely useless practice to engage in, for as I've written about again and again, the past is over and none of us can change it or bring it back for we now have to live and function effectively in the present. Those who experienced failures of any kind in the past so often spend far too much time reliving their past failures, this also is a useless and indeed most destructive practice as it will literally ruin a person's self-image and confidence to do great things in the now.
Then there's tomorrow. A whole lot of people are continually talking about what they intend to do tomorrow, whilst perpetually putting off what should be done today. These are the procrastinators who are forever going to do something in the future, which they somehow never seem to get around to taking the necessary action today, which would be the catalyst to propel them forward into a much more enjoyable and indeed successful future. So, the most important of this trio of days, yesterday, today and tomorrow is obviously today. Yes it is!
Yes my friend, if we wish to get ahead in life, we need to really concentrate on making today a most successful day. That's right, a successful life is made up of a series of successful days, one by one woven together to make a successful life. So, yesterday is over. We need to learn the lessons from the mistakes we made in the past and move on confidently to a successful future.
However, the way in which to finally get to a successful future, to success city is by making today a very successful day. If we simply keep on doing this, we will eventually build a very successful and indeed enjoyable life. And of course, today is actually the only day over which we have complete control. So, please my friend, go out and make today the best day ever and you'll be, bit by bit, building a truly successful life.
