Learn to Live Today…Today
November 29, 2009
Learn to live today…today
And not tomorrow when it becomes yesterday
We spend so much time in our memories or in the future
That we rarely have time to live in today
Today is when and where you live Yesterday is already over and gone And you can’t do or undo any actions Or change anything that you did wrong
But you can live today…today And today’s actions make new memories Because the things you do today Will become tomorrow’s history
Twenty-four golden hours To live this gift that we call life To spend with your friends or children Or your parents or husband or wife
Today is when and where you can live It’s the only time that is really real Today you can love, laugh, and listen Today you can understand; today you can feel
So learn to live more in the present day By praying, deciding, and carrying out your plan You can’t relive yesterday or live tomorrow in advance Today is the only time that you can
The current moment is your only currency It’s the only time we are creating, don’t you get it; don’t you see!
The current moment is the only time you have power So focus on this moment, and soon you’ll see results by the hour
And by the day, and the week, the month, and the year And you’ll realize your dreams one by one and be done with fear And when you do reflect on your past you will do it with cheer Because you’ll be grateful for the life that you caused to appear
