We are each a representation of 3 different people. The person we were, the person we are, and the person we have the potential to become.

Remember your past

Our past is very valuable. It is full of many different experiences and lessons learned over the years that have helped shape us to become who we are today. We should do our best to remember and learn from every experience we have in life. The good ones and the not so good ones alike. They will help us to try and avoid our previous mistakes while also trying to replicate our past successes.

“Reflecting on our past and possible future helps us to leverage our experiences as we prepare for what is ahead of us.”

Plan for your future

It is important that we each have an idea of what we want our future to look like and the person we hope to one day become. We must also set goals and create plans that will help us work towards making it a reality. With a target to aim at we usually hit it or come very close. However, when there is no target we always seem to come up short. Our life, the people we care about, and those that we set an example for are too important to have our futures be left up to chance.

“Taking the time to consider what may be ahead for us helps to make sure we appropriately plan and prepare for it.”

Live for today

We are able to make the biggest difference where we are, not where we’ve been or where we are going. Every day is filled with new opportunities and experiences to learn from and grow towards becoming a better version of ourselves. We just need to recognize and be open to them. What we do today will help to shape who we will become tomorrow, next week, next year, and in the future.

“To accomplish everything we hope to in life we can’t wait for the perfect time to take action. We have to start right where we are now.”

Remember your past, plan for your future, and live for today. On a daily basis we each should be working towards becoming better.
