― Mahatma Gandhi
This quote encompasses two of my favorite life goals.
Living as if there is no tomorrow forces one to live in today. Which I believe is the best way to avoid resentments, worry and disappointments. If you’re not concerned with the past then resentments have no place. If you’re only looking at today and you do what you can it’s hard to be disappointed. I constantly say; “not today’s worry.” It give me focus on what matters in the moment and not over things I have no control.
There is always something new to be learned. Don’t believe me? Think about your last 24 hours. Did something come up that you didn’t know 48 hours ago? This doesn’t have to be something out of text book or manual. It doesn’t have to be life altering. If you gain knowledge you have learned. When the kids were young we played the “What did you learn today?” game at the dinner table. Sometimes it was as simple as “Jonny’s birthday is Saturday.” or as profound as “The Sun is a star.” The point is, every day is an opportunity to learn something you didn’t know yesterday.
