No One Is Given More Than Today
Wake up every morning saying, “learn all you can today, so tomorrow you don’t have to”. Today is all I have, tomorrow expands far beyond my reach. If I didn’t learn anything form today I might as well have stayed in bed. I believe we need to challenge ourselves to be learning everyday. There is always something new to learn, and I want to continuously be curious and always be expanding my mind. I am going to try to take time every evening to think over what I experienced in my day, and what kind of new things I learned about throughout my day. Whether it is a word for my vocabulary, or a financial strategy, or an opinion on something I hadn’t given any thought to before, I want to think about how I spent my day.
Tomorrow is not a guarantee. Putting things off ‘til tomorrow can be very risky if tomorrow never seems to get here. But if we act on today, and work hard today then possibilities will be greater tomorrow.
This category will consist of the things I learn throughout my day’s activities. One of the greatest ways that I help myself understand a subject is through teaching someone else, or by writing it down for myself. When I write it down and look at it again it stays with me a lot longer. That is how I study for tests and I believe it is how I learn other things as well. This process will require a lot of discipline to do every night but I think I am up to the challenge
