Disappointed By The Things You Didn’t Do

“20 Years from now, you’ll more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did.” Mark Twain

 You know this quote is so very true. A friend of mine's dad was just taken to the hospital with a heart attack. He was fine early today but now his whole life has changed. Everything he had planned for the day has now been put on hold or maybe canceled indefinitely. I don't know much about his past, but many times we could have done things to improve our health.  None of us do everything we possibly can to keep our bodies well. The same holds true for or financial and spiritual lives. We normally take life as it comes and deal with each occurrence when it arrives. We don't look beyond today to see and know things won't always be the same. We keep doing everything the same and hoping it will change. To have things changed later we must begin to change them now. We need to realize the only way to be prepared is to prepare. We know the cost of everything will increase yet no one plans to increase his or her income. We know life will end yet there is no preparation for meeting Jesus when we do die. There are so many obstacles in our way of preparing for later we never seem to advance past them. Again this requires a change of mindset and the determination to overcome. Isn’t it surprising that every time change is required it is based in our mindset and attitude toward it? If we have the ability and desire then we also have the power within us.  It is only limited by the way we believe and think in the process. So don’t let your mindset and attitudes create a glass ceiling to control your advancement. The only thing that limits you is yourself.
