Today
Today, I use past accomplishments to cancel out future doubts and enjoy the present moment. If I made it this far, there is no need to question how much farther I will go. I will enjoy the journey with confidence that I will reach my destination.

Thank you for your post. It reminds me of a quote from Kung Fu Panda, the source of all wisdom.
This is Master Oogway talking to Po:
Quit, don't quit? Noodles, don't noodles? You are too concerned about what was and what will be. There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."
Your friend,

I saw that Happy Tree Friends show. :-)
Love the quote. Thanks for sharing. I'll post another "Today" post tomorrow. I've been doing one every morning. Just decided to start sharing them here.
Love,
Lily

Today, I express gratitude for the things I normally take for granted. Exchanging a have not attitude with acknowledgement of the things I do have brings me serenity. I will appreciate what I already have in this moment.

Today, I will break life down into smaller pieces and deal with one piece at a time. If it usn't due today, I will gently remind myself of it, do what I can for it, and then tuck it away for tomorrow. I will not let the tasks and tribulations of tomorrow invade my mind today. I deserve to be present today.

Today, I remind myself that life is not a race. I am where I am supposed to be in life, and I wont "should" myself into feeling bad for not reaching my destination at this point. I will get there in my own time.
Sometimes I see my peers and I feel as though I should be at the same stage in life. However, we are all different people and we all have different journeys. We are not even traveling on the same roads. Recently, a married friend of mine told me she wishes that she was single and working on her degree too. She said she wishes she had her own apartment like me. The truth is that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
The best thing anyone can do is enjoy his or her own ride. That is what I am focused on doing these days. I am focused on being okay in my own skin and being just fine with where I am at in life.
I will get there eventually.
Love and Light,
Lily
