MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️: I used to always hear and be told:

“Do today what others won’t do so you can have tomorrow what others won’t have.”

Here’s the problem with that.

We’re NOT promised tomorrow.

If we spend TODAY doing, doing, doing...planning, planning, planning...working, working, working to have MORE in our FUTURE..sacrificing the NOW in front of our faces for the LATER...we’re being deceived.

That’s a bold statement.

I missed moments in my life...precious moments...giving up the NOW for the LATER. Moments I’ll never get back. I think I’ll change that quote for us:

“Be willing to say NO to things today so that you can invest in the things that matter the most (people) and have what others will not have tomorrow...peace and joy and rest.”
