If it is on the internet, it must be true! I research a lot of quotes, and it is always funny who they are attributed to…this one was attributed to Socrates, Dan Millman, and Nick Nolte. If you don’t really care where it came from, skip on down to the next paragraph. Well, they are all 3 kind of right. Dan Millman wrote a book called “Peaceful Warrior” in which there is a gas station attendant known as Socrates. In the movie edition of this book, Socrates was played by Nick Nolte. So truly this quote isn’t from the ancient philosopher, but really from Dan Millman in his best-selling book.
So, regardless of who said it….it is still a POWERFUL
quote. We all have a past…some good,
some bad. We all have things we can brag
about, and we all have things we wish were very different. Our energy cannot change those things. It cannot preserve the good, and it can’t
change the bad. Our future can.
I am not the person I want to be…I won’t ever be able to say
“I have arrived,” but I do want tomorrow to be able to say “I am better today
than I was yesterday.” We get that by
using our energy is changing tomorrow, not fixing yesterday. Tomorrow has potential…we truly have a way to
change it…yesterday is static and it can’t be undone.
I hope this weekend is a large time of rest as you enjoy a
long weekend….as we are close to the finish line think about what is ahead of
you!
Happy Friday!
