Today is your opportunity to live well. Decide what you are going to do with it, and then do it. Today is your opportunity to make a difference, in your own life, in the lives of others. Seize that opportunity and follow all the way through on it. Today is more than just time to be passed, situations to be endured. Today is when life is real, when possibilities are present, when fulfillment gets done. What a waste it would be to let all that slip by without something distinctive to show for it. Embrace your potential and then do something with it. Today will have challenges, to be sure. So be sure to make those challenges count for something good and worthwhile. Feel the purpose that lives within you. Today that purpose has all sorts of great things to do. The substance of success is deceptively easy. It comes in the small, seemingly insignificant moments. When those moments are combined and directed toward a goal, success is achieved. The fundamental essence of achievement is available to anyone. It doesn't usually require great strength or great intelligence or extraordinary skill. The most magnificent achievements spring from the most ordinary moments, when all those moments are directed toward the achievement. Over the next few hours, you will face numerous decisions. The vast majority of these decisions will seem trivial. Yet when you consistently make decisions in a focused and intentional manner, fully aware of their combined consequences, those small, easy actions can lead to great and lasting success at anything you choose to pursue. The moments of your life are the fundamental building blocks of success and achievement.
