Getting in and out of Trouble - By Jim Stovall

Those of you who are regular readers of this humble offering may have noticed that each column ends with the phrase "Today is the day!" This is not an accident.

A sense of urgency is the most vital element in your success. There are many great ideas that never amount to anything more than a great idea because we fail to take that all-important first step.

Recently, I have been dealing with the imminent death of a close family member. This creates a new and very valuable perspective. I have been experiencing a sense of immediacy in that I want to say and do important things before it's too late. In reality, we should all live our lives this way.

In business terms, yesterday is a canceled check that is of no value; and tomorrow is a promissory note that may or may not be any good. The only real currency that we can spend is today. If you have a dream, a goal, or an objective that is worthy of your attention and consideration, I believe that it is a gift that has been given to you. With that gift, there is a responsibility to act upon it - not someday or tomorrow, but today.

I believe that for every goal in our lives, there is some step that can be taken today. Maybe it is simply study and learning, preparation, or meeting new people who can help us along the way. It's important to have lifelong objectives and long term goals, but remember they don't mean anything unless we embrace the eternal truth that when you boil life down to its essence, now is the only thing that really matters.
