Time is like a piece of clay, give the clay to a child - they dirtify themselves, give a grownup clay - they throw it away and wash their hands(yaaach! dirrrty!), give the clay to a master - they make life long pottery that amazes everyone and has functionality many decades later. So, life will never give u the beautiful pot, it will only give you clay! therefore, live everyday to master your skills that you may make all the clay around you into all the things that you desire.
Therefore, the most important thing in life is - in the moment,
1. Check yourself. make an inventory of all the plus and minus about"you".
2. Purpose to be strict and cross out what about you that - does not work (in the current) and can not work (in the future). Here please not that this are the characters in you that are sort of like vices.
3. Now after vices have been ticked off, check whats in you that you enjoy doing. Please note: i have not talked about "check and change your environment", this is because most of the times we can not change our environment. You may be stuck in a bad country, bad neighbourhood and or job that really u can not come out. Now be patient with me and we will try and explore that as well.
I am strictly talking about, what in you that you love doing. Create a scale for yourself to measure. In the midst of all your circumstances, what can you say ticks you or, that small thing that people alway pat you on the back for. Purpose each day to improve and master those thing. Research on it and purpose to master it. As useless as it may seem to the world. In life i believe that we have a couple of things that we dont mind doing, list them and work on them. Apart from putting food on your table (maybe from that job that you don't enjoy but cant quite), create time to do those things bit by bit. Every day something small.
This may be, you love cheering people, singing, cleaning, building up old cars, collecting stamps, volunteering at the homeless shelter, public speaking... all those small things that put a smile in your face, albeit a small smile, do them. bit by bit. Do not at first fight your environment. Fight you. Dont fight your boss, fight you. The biggest battle field is with your self. Do not blame your drunkard abusive father and how he brought you - remember, 'clay'.
Now check this out, if you try to define tomorrow with today's circumstances, nothing will make sense and you will end up frustrated when you don't achieve them. instead, whatever you do today - set it free to evaporate like the mornings dew into the large open endless sky's of tomorrow. Bit by bit the clouds will form, idea by idea, action by action, and when it does get heavy enough, the rain will fall. Is it not interesting that its the rivers that evaporate to cause the rain to fall to sustain the same rivers? the forests in the massive forest lands that give away small droplets that bit by bit buld into masive crouds that rain on the trees and give them life.
Dont worry about tomorrow, be you and be the best you, and know that tomorrows rain is awaiting todays sweat. To build up and form the clouds that will rain on your garden. So dont blame today, create the rains tomorrow.
Do not waste time looking forward though things because most of the times when you look backwards, its the things that didn't make sense in the past that are the corner stone of today. Instead, forcus much of your energy in making you good today, work on you and everything that about you, do the right things at the right time and tomorrow will take shape in today's clay
Its Yours, if your it
