Plan as Though You Will Live Forever, Live as Though You Will Die Today
Plan as though you will live forever, but live with the consciousness that today matters.
Life will present you with moments that make you question your dreams. There will be disappointments, failures, criticism, delays, rejection, financial challenges, and situations that seem to tell you, “Give up.” But don't allow temporary circumstances to destroy your vision for the future.
Plan as though you will live forever.
Dream beyond today. Set goals. Learn new skills. Build something meaningful. Invest in yourself. Prepare for opportunities that have not yet appeared. Work on becoming the person you want to be tomorrow.
You may not see the result immediately, but that does not mean your effort is wasted. A seed does not become a tree overnight. Give your dreams time, patience, discipline, and consistent action.
At the same time, live with the consciousness that today matters.
Don't become so obsessed with tomorrow that you forget to live today. Appreciate the people around you. Say thank you. Encourage someone. Forgive where forgiveness is possible. Do your work with excellence. Make time for the people who matter. Use your gifts. Be kind.
When discouragement comes, remind yourself:
“I may not know what tomorrow will bring, but I will prepare for it. And I may not know how many tomorrows I have, so I will make today count.”
And while you are building the future, remember to make today count
And don't let anything discourage you from becoming all that you were created to be.
