One Day at a Time

"The power to create quality of life is not in any planner. The power
to create quality of life is within us, in our ability to develop and
use our own inner-compass so that we can act with integrity in the
moment of choice."
— Stephen Covey

What will happen tomorrow? Or the next day? Or the next week, month,
year? Other than some fairly predictable norms in my life, I wouldn't
be able to answer that with much detail or accuracy because I simply
cannot know about something that has not yet happened. And what about
all the things that are going to happen that I can't even imagine at
this present moment? How will they affect the equation when I didn't
put them into my calculations?

So why do we take up so much of our time thinking, or worse yet,
worrying about the future when we have no way to know for certain what
it will entail?

No matter how challenging your situation appears to you at this time,
you can make it through one day at a time. Focus on the present day and
moment and what action steps you can take right now. Understand that
each conscious choice you make now will create the quality of life upon
which you decide.
