TODAY.

Nov. 23, 2024

This is for you.

Today I've served.
Today I lead.
Today I give.
Today I reflect
 on what I did
 what I could do
 what I should do
 on Yesterday
 on where I went wrong
 on what went right.
Because Tomorrow holds promise.
Tomorrow offers hope
 for a better life
 for fulfillment
 for a chance to improve
 to grow, to achieve, to find peace.
Then Tomorrow becomes Today
 and then Yesterday
 and then Last Year, Last Decade.
Have I learned? Yes.
Have I grown? Yes.
Do I have more growing to do? Always.
But when will Today bring the fruits?
 the satisfaction?
 the reward?
 the acknowledgement?
When will Today be enough?
When will Today be the day when Tomorrow becomes an exciting possibility?
 - not the day when I catch up to what I earned Yesterday?
 Last Year?
 Last Decade?
The Time is now.
Be patient but not too patient, my friend.
Life is but a moment in the infinite Universe.
Live Now.
Live Today.
Stand up.
For you.
For what matters.
For what's right.
And with others.
Take risks.
Channel fear into exhilaration.
Exhilaration from the knowledge that
 you are creating your path.
Today.
Let this be the Day.
A truly New Day. 
❤️

I wrote this in November of 2024 and shared it online. Perhaps you’ll get something from it. It’s interesting how within less than a year after writing this, I made a big decision to not continue on the career and life track I was on. That’s what “the journey” is about.
