Tomorrow's another day….today is the first day of the rest of your life and the list goes on concerning the possibilities of a fresh start. There must be a starting point where we make up our minds to move toward a goal that we have set in our minds. Zig Ziglar said it well, “If we don’t start, it’s certain we can’t arrive”. There are defining moments in everyone’s life and it will be up to you to “Carpe Diem” (Seize the Day).
“On a day no different than the one now dawning, Shakespeare
sat down and started Hamlet, Leonardo stepped to an easel and
made the first strokes of the Mona Lisa, and Beethoven took out
a sketch book and began the Ninth Symphony.”

Many today have absorbed the negativity that bombards us on a daily basis from the media telling us how bad the economy is and that the future does not look much better. Rather than embracing this line of thinking, it is imperative that we see the opportunity that comes with the challenges and changes that are facing us at this time.
“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects
it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."-William A. Ward-
A wise man once said, “He that observes the wind will not sow; and he that regards the clouds will not reap.” (Ecclesiastes 11:4) The possibilities of success will come if you stay focused on goals that you have set. Think of Thomas Edison and the failures that he encountered, but he persevered until there was success. Success becomes more possible with persistence and a definite goal.
May you have success today and always.
M. D. Gray
