Our Thoughts and Growth

“When you stop growing, you cease to be useful – a weed in the garden of prosperity…. We are what we are today because we were what we were yesterday. And our thoughts today determine our actions tomorrow.” George Knox

Wow, a lot to unpack. I don’t know about you but I do find when I slack off on my reading or exercise, I feel like I begin to slide backwards. I don’t seem to have the value I would like to have for my life and for those I try to pour into around me. Which means, the lazy me yesterday created the unprepared person today. I overheard a conversation recently about some physical challenges and the need to make changes to help things get better but the person did not seem to want to pay the price (maybe even painful price) of making changes, doing things different, to try to impact a possibly different outcome. If we could pay the difficult price today, it might create a better tomorrow and a better me in tomorrow.

If we start to tackle today differently, it will create different results and a different us tomorrow.  So let’s pay the price today. Read the blog, listen to that podcast, read the book, go walk that parking lot, pick the salad instead, go have that really difficult conversation. What we do today, determines who will be and the results we will get tomorrow.

You got this! Take that first baby step today. You can do it!!!
