There are many books, magazine articles, seminars and
workshops devoted to telling people How to be Successful. It is the dream or
goal for a lot of individuals who think of success as a future achievement; something
just up ahead; something just around the corner; something over the next hill.
People make mistakes chasing success. They believe that
tomorrow will bring success. Their mantra is, “If I can only get through today,
tomorrow will be better.” This focus on tomorrow reminds me of the closing
words of author Margaret Mitchell in her book, Gone with the Wind. “After
all, tomorrow is another day.”
Tomorrow is another day. But, in reality, all we have is
today. So, here are thoughts that may help you live a life of success today.
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if you went to work today and worked?
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if you paid a genuine compliment to someone that wasn’t
expecting it?
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if you got up 25 minutes early tomorrow and thought about
the things you have to be thankful for?
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if you gave the homeless guy on the corner a couple of
dollars and did not pass judgment on where he or she might spend it?
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if you picked up the check for a senior couple at the next
restaurant you dine and they never knew you were their benefactor?
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if you visited a nursing home and spent some time with a
complete stranger who has no one to visit them?
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if you asked someone to tell you how they got into their
career and then let them proudly tell you about their life?
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if you quit swallowing the poison of bitterness and asked
forgiveness of someone who had done you wrong?
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if you went to several garage sales and enjoyed capitalism
at its best?
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if today you told someone, “I am proud of you?”
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if you see the glass half full and pour in more water?
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if you contributed to the solution and not the problem?
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if you really enjoyed today?
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if you smiled at everyone you meet today?
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if you made lemonade out of the lemons handed you?
WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE if everyone was like you?
