One of my favorite motivational speakers is Steve Chandler. Although the first time I heard his voice I had to laugh a little. He has a somewhat mono tone, almost depressing voice , but after learning what he had to say, I was’nt laughing for long. He has some incredible thoughts, thoughts that make sense.

I believe I’ve mentioned him before.

My mp3 player is loaded with motivational, business and self-help content, but I made my way back to 101 ways to motive yourself, by of course Steve Chandler.

For me, some times I need to heard something more than once before it really “clicks”. Something clicked today, hence this post.

Today I listened to Steve talking about, as he said it, “Focus on Today”. It made so much sense.

He explained that when we focus on the past we bring on guilt. Does’nt it make sense? We think about the past and all the things we did’nt do, what we wished we had done, things we wished we had never done, the list goes on. Bet I’m not the only one to fall into that trap. Right?

Steve also talked about when we think about the future it’s not much better than thinking about the past. What happens when we think about the future? Most likely more worries. Worry about making enough money, will you be a success, will your business last, and on and on. Since we can’t tell the future, though some people would have us believe otherwise, the future can be scary just because it is unknown.

The solution? I’m sure you already figured it out.

Focus on Today. The past is just that, the past. Every day is a brand new day, a clean slate.

The future will take care of it’s self it you Focus on Today.
