It is far easier to prepare for a storm when the skies are still clear. By the time dark clouds appear on the horizon, your options are drastically more limited and much less effective.

The surest way to make a task more difficult is to put it off until later. The cost of anything continues to rise the longer you take to pay for it.

Use this moment to create value instead of trying to borrow that value from the future. The sooner you make the effort, the more rewarding life will be.

A small precaution right now can help you avoid big problems later. The most reliable path to a great accomplishment is to start working on it as early as possible.

This is the moment when you can make a difference. So make full use of the opportunity that has come your way.

Do the difficult things while they are still easy. Right now is the time to act so as to get the highest return for your efforts.

Ralph Marsden must be able to see into my life, today's reading is exactly what I needed to hear.

I have a difficult stand to take today, but it isn't difficult at all when I know in my heart that it is necessary and what is right for me.

Thank you, Ralph, wherever you are, for reminding this codie that it's best to take action and do what is right for me rather than let resentments build and gather storm strength.

What a wonderful way to begin my day, just knowing that today recovery has given me the tools and courage I need to stand up for myself and my values regardless of whether or not others agree with me. My heart tells me it is right, that's good enough for me today.
