"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe
Do you ever wish that you had something that could make all of your decisions for you? Well, my dad has one. It's this little wheel that sits on his desk, and when you spin it it gives you an answer to your question (Nice, right?). The problem is that it's broken, so no matter how you spin it, it always lands on "Tomorrow." Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. And the funny thing is, I think a lot of people's inner decision-makers are broken in quite a similar way.
Everyone is a dreamer, whether they admit it or not. And it's easy to say that you'll get started working to those goals tomorrow, next week, or some other time. Like, "I'll start treating myself better tomorrow" or even "I'll be happy once I... (lose 5 pounds, get a boyfriend, become popular)." And of course tomorrow is beautiful - it always sits just beyond the sunset. But the difference between tomorrow and today is really the difference between having dreams and actually starting the work to make them happen.
Oprah said, "My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment." And I wouldn't disagree with her - she's a woman who has made a few dreams happen. What usually stops us is that initial push, when it feels like you're a million miles away from where you really want to be. But you know what? That's cool. Because some place has to be your starting place. It might as well be right here, right now.
