“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.  The second best time is now.”  -Chinese Proverb

There are things all of us wish we had right now.  Whether it is to have more money, be in better shape, own a house, or any number of things.  There will always be things in our life that we wish we had.

The bad news is… in order to have what we want, we would have needed to start working towards that goal awhile ago to get it today.  The good news is… we can start working towards those objectives today.  It is not too late to begin going after everything you want in life.

It’s true that immediate gratification might not come your way; but that doesn’t mean you can’t get what you want.  Instead of being frustrated with what you don’t have today, be optimistic about the opportunity to achieve it tomorrow.  If you wish you were in better shape, all it takes in a little commitment and focus towards that goal.  You can begin taking the proper steps to working out and eating right.  YOU HAVE TO STAY COMMITTED.  If you do this, these small changes over time will lead you to the body you wish you had today.

The same holds true for money.  If you wish you had more money, were out of debt, or had the freedom to live comfortably; you can achieve this.  You can begin putting 10% or 20% of your paychecks directly towards your long term savings.  You can begin reading and studying financially beneficial books.  These changes won’t make you rich in a day, but it will put you on the track to where you want to go, IF YOU STAY COMMITTED.

Do not waste any more time being upset about the things you do not have in your life.  Instead smile! with enthusiasm about the opportunity to work towards these goals so that you have a better life tomorrow.
