I saw a commercial that caught my eye and I have issues with
it. The premise was “the beauty of tomorrow”. Interesting and valid but I live
a little different. From the bible,
karma and every other religion based belief there is no promise of a tomorrow.
I do love to plan, make list and accomplish my task but tomorrow is merely a
hope of things to come. With that I live like today is my last day. My friends
and family give the strength to be a better person and my past leads me to make
better choices but I still gotta be me and LIVE. I cannot sit around and hope
and wish my life away, I am too busy living it. No matter what it is or how trivial
it may be I do it today! Why? Cause yes tomorrow is not promised and it could
wait but it makes me feel stronger to do it today. I go places and do things I
may not do but that is the beauty of doing it. It is not always about you
sometimes it is about the journey and taking that step to do it. Try it and
today do something you may think “oh I can do it tomorrow”. For tomorrow we may
but today we will!!!!!! JUST GO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of all the random stuff I have carried for my life this one has taught and kept me on my path. TAD stands for Think Act Deal. Three simple words but oh do they mean so much more. THINK as this skill is disappearing in today’s age it is critical that you NEVER forget it. Even in that life changing, time stops and the Zen like calm of a life stops everything there is time to THINK. Give it a second and think and I mean really think about it. What will this cost? Where will it take me? Can I live with my choice? Seems like a child’s nursery rhyme but so often we forget that a moment of thought could p...
