Have you ever noticed how one little thing today can lead to a major issue somewhere in the future? You know what I mean, right? You have a little drip in the washing machine line. No big deal, you just put a pan or bucket under it. But, it doesn't get better; these things always get worse. Eventually, that little drip becomes a major leak, ruining your laundry room floor.
Another little thing that I am often guilty of is the "I don't have any time for exercise." It is difficult to find time to get a lot of exercise in, especially in big blocks. But, if I would only get up from the desk occasionally and walk to the end of the hall or upstairs to drop off paperwork or anything that resembles exercise, it would all add up cumulatively.
Today's word is just a simple saying that says, "Do something today that your future self will thank you for."
The old saying is, "If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself." The truth is, we are all making decisions today to do, and not do, things that we will eventually feel the effects of. Hey, I am pointing the finger at me, not you.
I need to work on doing something today that will benefit me in the future. It may be a few extra steps, one less cookie, a little catnap, checking twice before entering traffic; it can be any little thing. But, I bet I'll be surprised at how doing some little beneficial thing today will really pay off down the road.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
