This Moment is the First Moment of the Rest of Your Life

When I was growing up, my parents had a cross-stitch on the wall that read:
“Today is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life”
I don’t know who originally said it, but it’s so simple and so full of truth it still fascinates me.
I like to break it down even further:
“This Moment is the First Moment of the Rest of Your Life”
It doesn’t matter what happened before… start right now.
Of course, you’ll have to deal with the conditions you created up to this point. But that’s all they are: conditions. What is within you is more powerful than conditions.
Never mind what you want to do with your life. What do you want to do with this moment?
One of my favorite quotes from the movie “The Secret” comes from James Ray33:
“Most people look at their current state of affairs and say ‘This is who I am.’ That’s not who you are… that’s who you were.”
It can be who you are… as a matter of fact, that’s the easiest thing in the world to be: exactly who you’ve been up until now.
The problem is… you actually can’t be. You are always changing, whether you like it or not. If we don’t consciously direct that change, most of the time the change won’t be for the better.
What do you want to do with this moment?3

People are often limited by their beliefs based on past experiences, but this post reminds me that every moment is a new start. Simple but deep.

It’s something I have to constantly remind myself of, Donald. Thanks for commenting and bringing me right back to it, in this particular moment.
My wife said something a long time ago that I’ll never forget: “The past doesn’t have to be a template for the future.”

Jonathan: I think that one and “The Universe Likes Speed!” by Joe Vitale are the two quotes that stick out for me from the movie.
