Yesterday is a dream, tomorrow but a vision

"Yesterday is a dream, tomorrow but a vision. But today
well-lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and
every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore to this
day."

-- Sanskrit Proverb

The only way that we can go back to yesterday is by dream, things and time that are already gone can only be encountered and retrieve again through dream. Tomorrow is not only a vision but it is the coming reality. Today is what separates us from yesterday a dream of happiness, sometimes we want to repeat what had happened yesterday but only in dream that we could go back and refresh what had happened. But do not nail ourselves to the past, let us proceed with the passing of time, to experience every moment that we have in our lifetime. Cherished the privileged given to us, let us live everyday happily. 

Envy can be a positive motivator

"Envy can be a positive motivator. Let it inspire you to work
harder for what you want."

-- Robert Bringle

It is natural and normal that we get envy to others especially to those who are moving up. But what is not good for envy is when we think something bad against our fellow who is striving and sacrificing to move up. Envy is good if it will serve as motivator for us to strive and get better. May every feeling of envy be a factor to help us perform and do better. 

Live with our dreams

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live,
remember that."

-- Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

We always dream and dreaming, but remember that dream is an inspiration, it's not yet the reality. In other point, our mind is always focus on future, and we live on future that we neglect the present situation and reality of our status. Sometimes we are not certain, if we are living in the future or at present.

Grasp your opportunities

"Grasp your opportunities, no matter how poor your health;
nothing is worse for your health than boredom."

-- Mignon McLaughlin

There are times that we use our health as excuses in not accomplishing projects. But don't be negative, always take the positive side no matter what, do it first before concluding that you can't. Experience the joy of having something better accomplishments. 

Aim high

"Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star."

-- W. Clement Stone

There are times that we missed our target, instead we make and hit something better than what we have aspire. So be not afraid and hesitant to do something, our fortune is unpredictable, we might arrived in accomplishing something much better.

You can do what you have to do

"You can do what you have to do, and sometimes you can do it
even better than you think you can."

-- Jimmy Carter





We must believed in ourself, know our strength and weaknesses. Examine our capabilities and establish a goal, set a goal that is not too high for us to conquer. After every achievement don't stop, set again another mark to overcome, until we develop the habit of setting goal and having it done. 

Everyone will begin

"Everyone who got where he is has had to begin where he was."

-- Robert Louis Stevenson

The usual procedure in a beginning is we start from the bottom and moving upward. Sometimes we will start from a scratch then moving on to a more complicated situation. But often that we're afraid to move forward once that we found out something a little better, but the real reason why don't move is that, we're afraid to start and face another obstacles and problem. In every little and big effort we exert, there is a corresponding reward, big effort has bigger reward and little has small. Dream big and achieved more. 

Welcoming imperfection

"Welcoming imperfection is the way to accomplish what
perfectionism promises but never delivers. It gives us our
best performance and genuine acceptance in the family of human
-- and by that I mean imperfect -- beings."

-- Martha Beck


What forbids us to perform is our cowardliness to commit mistakes. We're afraid to commit mistakes in a performance, and we don't know that in having mistakes we learned. Best performances arrived in having more mistakes. So forgive and accept our imperfections.
