If you are to take today’s quote to heart, the odds are you would be concerned that you would not have the stamina “to put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts”. By noon you would be exhausted!

However, here are three points to remember.

First, when all is said and done, all you have control over is the present, and what is immediately in front of you. Although you might enjoy reminiscing or beating yourself up about the past, or dreaming about the future, you cannot change the past, and neither can you control the future. All you have control over is the now, and what you do in every moment.

Second, and although you cannot control the future, your thoughts and actions in the present can influence how the future unfolds. There is thus merit in being intentional in how you approach current situations and experiences, noting that your mindset, actions and responses contribute to the outcome.

Finally, to the extent that you can, it is important to do your very best in any situation you encounter. In being intentional and putting your best foot forward, allows for the best outcome to occur.

Note, however, that the best outcome might not be the one you want. But you ought to be able to console yourself that there was nothing more you could have done, and the outcome is as it has been ordained.

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!
