Here and now

The future is where our hopes reside, but not where we live. If anything happens then, it is because of what we do now. We must live up to our potential.

Dreams are great for motivation. But if they do not bear fruit, they are without substance. In the end, it is up to the individual to prove their own worth.

Here is where we stake our claim. You have only what can be defended. In a world where canines consume each other, there is no room for trying.

Success can only be won in the here and now. Otherwise, we are left merely with aspirations. And there does come a time when such things expire.

The ones who are great make their opportunities. Nothing is allowed to get in their way. Years later, we still stand in awe of what they accomplished.

Our deeds will prove the value of our words. So, get to the doing with all due haste. Tomorrow will never come, so we must all live for a single day.

  1. We must live in the moment, we never know which may be our last. The here and now will always determine our success.

    1. The present is where we build the foundation for the future. What we do here determines that which is to come. Now, is the chance to achieve our dreams.

  2. So what you're are basically saying is that we should do stuff or nothing will happen.

    1. The real point is that people tend to be obsessed with the future when they have sown nothing to make it happen. It is not enough to believe, we must put in the work to succeed. Only then, can fantasy become reality.

  3. Every day is a moment in free fall. We can flap our arms but seriously: it's as useless as Wild E. Coyote's little umbrella in stopping falling boulders. In other words: we are doomed no matter what we do or how well we do it. A success worth the bother is impossible... and that's where things get interesting.

    1. Success is always about defying the odds. Look at how many come and go, doomed to exist in obscurity. What we do will decide the outcome, but nothing is guaranteed.
