The table has been cleared,
the fine china put away
Today lies before us
a banquet of opportunity
Carefully prepared from
yesterday’s successes and failures
Even our failures guide us and are not in vain if we learn from them. George Bernard Shaw said, "When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work."
Give yesterday a nod of regret or a smile of fond remembrance and return to where your life is really happening—in this moment. We have built today from our decisions in the past and we build tomorrow from our actions in the present. Great care and attention to the eternal flow of "now" is our greatest asset in creating a joy filled tomorrow.
