How much does today impact tomorrow’s success?
The answer is clear… how you live today impacts your tomorrow.
The problem is that most people have a faulty view of success.
Common Misconceptions and Responses
We Believe Success Is Impossible—So We Criticize It
We Believe Success is Mystical—So We Search For It
We Believe Success Comes From Luck—So We Hope For It
We believe Success Is Productivity—So We Work For It
A strong work ethic is an admirable trait, but hard work alone doesn’t bring success. There are plenty of people who work hard and never see success. Some people give their energy to dead-end jobs. Others work so hard that they neglect important relationships, ruin their health, or burn out. Success may not come to those who don’t work hard, but hard work and success are not one and the same.
We Believe Success Comes From An Opportunity—So We Wait For It
“When opportunity comes, it’s too late to prepare.” –John Wooden, basketball coach for UCLA
We Believe Success Comes From Leverage—So We Power Up For It
We Believe Success Comes From Connections—So We Network For It
We Believe Success Comes From Recognition—So We Strive For It
We Believe Success Is An Event—So We Schedule It
The truth is . . . real sustainable change doesn’t happen in a moment. It’s a process. Events are great places for receiving inspiration and encouragement. They often prompt us to make important decisions to change. And they can even provide knowledge and tools to get us started.
TODAY MATTERS!
People create success in their lives by focusing on TODAY! It’s too late for yesterday and you can’t depend on tomorrow! That’s why today matters. Most of the time we miss that. Why? Because…
We Over exaggerate Yesterday
We Overestimate Tomorrow
We Underestimate Today
How would you like every day to…
Possess possibilities?
Remain focused?
Enjoy good health?
Exhibit stability?
Hold an advantage?
Possess tenacity?
Exercise options?
Sense inner peace?
Experience fulfillment?
Feel significant?
Receive direction?
Learn and grow?
It starts with making one choice today to change and doing it! Living each day with goals in mind! Choose one thing and set aside 15 minutes today and every day to work toward that goal. Start today!
Make today matter!

Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
..James 4:14
Today will soon vanish like the vapor tha appeare for a little while and then evaporated away. Tomorrow …well if there is a tomorrow.
You guy read about Air France that crashed into the Atlantic ocean. For the 228 peope there is no more tomorrow. Life is short and unpredictable. So what really matters at the end of it all. 72-80 yrs and we vanish away. Is that all there is to life?
This can be confusing. What is today? Isn’t it but yesterday’s tomorrow?
