Everyday Inching

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"Everyday do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow.".... Doug Firebaugh

Any improvement NO matter how small is always a giant step in the right direction. Each new day offers the same chance to rearrange ourselves or our situation into a better version of yesterdays reality. And there is ALWAYS room for improvement. For every excuse you can think of to put off what needs doing there are countless reasons why waiting is a very bad idea. Absolutely nothing gets easier to correct when all that the pausing really does is fill us with dread. I wish I'd realized so many things, so many years ago... but I know them now and paying it forward is my feeble attempt to spare someone else a hard tumble.

Nobody can fix you, EXCEPT you... you can't fix anyone else either... but the struggle to adjust to that simple fact is ongoing throughout our lifetime. Tweak what's twisted inside of you and those repairs may encourage change in others, but never depend upon that... and that's a fact. You may outgrow a person, or a place if a tug of war occurs over who has the right to be ruler of your three-feet of personal space. Together it's possible to cultivate a deep love and mutual respect. But unless you both row in sync the boat will simply spin in endless circles before it sinks. So seek true intent and beware of hidden agendas before you climb on board.

The end result of any remodel hinges upon all the tiny deliberate steps YOU take with careful attention to detail. And truly the sky is the limit... as long as you move forward there will forever be a forward to follow. Growth doesn't require a certain age to begin and there are no cut off retirement limits either; if you're breathing class is in session. Choice of seating is important too. I like to sit in the back... not to hide, but to absorb all that goes on around me as I dwell on the lesson. I have no need to sit up front to show how eager and bright I am... with nothing to prove I save my give a shit for any lesson well learned. The little things add up so delightfully.   


A penny may not buy much, but save a few each day and soon you'll have a fist full... then a pocket full... etc. etc. etc. The same can be said for inches closer to a better tomorrow. Each day add an small measure of depth to what you do for the sake of the future and before long you will possess one of much greater value than the one that you have now. And as always.... think about it.... let it ride.... then decide!!!
