Steve Maraboli on Time

"Today stretches ahead of you waiting to be shaped. You are the sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to you."

"If you see something different for yourself in the future, you have to do something different for yourself in the present."

"Are you leaving evidence that you appreciate today or are you only leaving evidence that you are scared of tomorrow?"

"When you truly embrace your human impermanence you connect with the power you have, and influence you have, over the time you have."

"Do not let another day go by where your dedication to other people's opinions is greater than your dedication to your own emotions!"

"Today's a new day. It's your day. You shape it. Don't let it be shaped by someone else's ignorance or fear."

"I'm not saying it's wrong to plan for the future. I'm warning not to make today a victim of those plans."

"A lot of the things you cry about in the present are the things you will laugh about in the future."

"Although time seems to fly by, it never travels faster than one day at a time. Each day is a new opportunity to live your life to the fullest."

"I don't want you to be the victim of circumstance, I want you to be the owner of the moment."

"At any given moment the choice to be happy is present — we just have to choose to be happy."

"Do not let your TODAY be stolen by the ghost of yesterday or the "To-Do" list of tomorrow!"

"Today greets you in the morning with an embrace and a kiss. How will you greet it back?"

"Happiness and success come from living in the present, not from existing in the past."

"Time waits for no one. There is only one time for happiness and the time is NOW!"

"When we focus our attention on things that are either in the past of in the future, it dilutes our experience of right now. Today is the day you can break from that."

"Don't be afraid of your past. Learn from it so it can empower your present."

"You can still make today the day you change yourself. It's never too late!"

"The actions you take today can propel you into a better position tomorrow."

"You can't fully enjoy THESE moments until you let go of past moments."

"Enjoy today, it's what you hold in your senses now."

"Today is the only day in which we have any power."

"Today is yours to shape. Create a masterpiece!"

"Finding happiness should not be seen as finding a needle in a haystack. Happiness is within. Each day is a blessing that brings an abundance of happiness. Therefore, finding happiness should be like finding a gift in a stack of gifts."
