Today is Dues-Day


I will plan what I do and do what I plan.

I will remember that instant gratification is over
in… well… an instant, and that perseverance has
a bigger payday, even if that payday is not today.

Sometimes this is about making small changes
and trusting that they will reap benefits
down the road.

I am making an investment
in my future and in myself.

  7. That first statement is what I needed to hear this morning. I am printing it and posting it on my monitor as a daily reminder. Thanks, Jack!!!

  8. My first boss told me, "Greg, you don't plant a shade tree for yourself." Of course, he then instructed me to plant a shade tree, which confused me.

    Actually we were talking about "success" (as a concept) yesterday. Whether it is success as experienced through losing unwanted weight, or achieving another goal, we agreed that other people will one day, suddenly notice the change. And, to those people, your success seemed to happen almost overnight - like your success was an event. But only you will know that your success was not an event; your success was really the culmination of doing thousands of small things, repeatedly, and not giving up.

    Thanks for the post Jack.
