Message of the Day - Sacrificing Tomorrow

Good Morning,

 

In our rush to get things done today and worrying about today's concerns we tend to take more and more of our attention off of another vital concern. That is planning for tomorrow.

 

Tomorrow brings hopes and opportunities and it also brings a lot of the unknown.

 

Today is here now and it has its concerns and hot items which must be addressed.

 

If we focus solely on today and and do only what is necessary to survive today, we will succeed in surviving for today.

 

When tomorrow comes, we then do the same thing. But, there in lies the challenge. If we always do what we always did, then we will always get what we always got (taking a line from Todd Arwood).

 

This is a challenge because there is change. There is always change. In fact, the only constant is that things will change.  Sometimes we can see the change on the horizon and sometimes it hits us upside our heads without notice.

 

If we do not plan for the change we know is coming, and keep facing today's challenges only, eventually our knowledge and skill will not be enough. One day, we will not be able to address the challenges of the day. Will not have planned and prepared, and we will have to scramble even faster.

 

That is a growing amount of stress. Some of it is unnecessary, if we only spend some time looking forward into the future, and preparing.

 

A good book on this is Ken Blanchard's 'Mission Possible' which shares how to face today's issues while planning ahead for what we know lies ahead.

 

Enjoy!

 

Enjoy!
