October 18, 2025- Don't waste a day

There is no good reason why we should not develop and change until the last day we live.

~Karen Horney

We do have a limited number of days in our lives, but most of us get a lot of them. We don’t have to get all of our goals accomplished today, because we have tomorrow to get back to them. However, there will be a time when we run out of tomorrows, making what we accomplished today so much more significant.

How many days are we willing to let slip by? What are we doing to stimulate and to cultivate growth today? We do not have to forgo rest because we are not immortal. We do not have to skip leisure because we have a finite amount of time to work on ourselves. But we must live life with a certain sense of urgency. We must devote significant portions of our time and energy to the alignment of our actions with our dreams. We have to keep growing.

Is there a change you’ve been meaning to make, but the perfect moment to do so has not revealed itself? Why can’t this be the perfect moment? What makes you think tomorrow will be more perfect? And if tomorrow happens to be perfect, wouldn’t you be better off if you started that perfect day one step ahead?

There’s always space for change, for growth, for evolution. Don’t waste a day waiting to make it happen.
