Today

Nothing is worth more than this day. You cannot relive yesterday. Tomorrow is still beyond your reach. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

We sometimes fail to recognize the greatest gift any of us could ever receive. What gift is that we may ask? It is that amazing gift called today. While our past has provided us some of our fondest memories and our future holds the promise of many more memorable moments, today is the only day that really matters at all.
We often spend way too much of our time reliving the past. There's nothing wrong with looking back and revisiting all the joyful and happy times we enjoyed long ago. Going back in time is fine, as long as you don't stay there. Sometimes we feel happy when we think about the good times and good friends that made life so very special in our past. Sometimes we feel sorrow and regret over the things we wished we would have done or opportunities that somehow slipped away. We need to forget about any of our past mistakes since they are just a part of life. We simply need to learn from the past and apply those lessons to today. Sometimes we get stuck dreaming about the future as well, and let that dream overtake us so that we aren't living in the present. Today is always the one day which you can control from start to finish. Today is your opportunity to set yourself free and start setting the world on fire. There is no telling how much you can accomplish when you start spending your precious time in the present, making the most of today-day after day.

When we start making the most of every moment, today will be one of those days we will never forget.
