Buddha once said, “What we do today is what matters most.” This statement holds a profound truth that transcends time and is applicable to all aspects of life. Whether it’s personal growth, career development, or relationships, the choices we make today shape our future.
Many of us get caught up in the past or worry about the future, but we forget that the present moment is where life unfolds. The actions we take today determine our destiny. Therefore, it’s crucial to focus on what we can do right now to create a better tomorrow.
What we do today is what matters most meaning
One of the essential aspects of life that we often overlook is personal growth. Our mental and emotional well-being is fundamental to our happiness, success, and fulfillment. However, it’s easy to fall into the trap of procrastination or make excuses for not taking action.
The truth is, the journey of personal growth begins with a single step. Whatever our goals may be, taking small steps every day can lead to significant changes over time. Whether it’s reading a book, practicing mindfulness, or learning a new skill, every action we take today contributes to our growth and development.
Similarly, our career success also depends on what we do today. Many of us dream of having a fulfilling career, but we fail to take action. We get stuck in jobs that we hate or settle for less than we deserve. However, the key to career success is taking small, consistent steps towards our goals every day.
This could mean networking, learning new skills, or taking on challenging assignments. By taking action today, we can create opportunities for ourselves and open doors to new possibilities.
Relationships need effort everyday
Lastly, our relationships also require attention and effort every day. Whether it’s our romantic relationships, friendships, or family ties, the quality of our connections determines the quality of our lives. However, maintaining strong relationships requires intentional action.
We must prioritize our relationships and invest time and energy into building them. This could mean showing appreciation, communicating openly, or being present in the moment. By doing so, we create a strong foundation for our relationships and ensure that they grow and thrive.
In conclusion, Buddha’s words remind us that what we do today is what matters most. Every action we take today contributes to our future. Whether it’s personal growth, career success, or relationships, taking intentional action today can lead to a brighter tomorrow. So let’s make the most of today and create the future we desire.

But every sunrise give us,One day more to hope!

Great post
Thank you Veena, nice to hear from you :).
I was reading somewhere, HOPE is stronger than FEAR, and I love to the last statement – Hold on to hope when life drains out:)
Thank you! :)
“The past happened and it happened a long time ago, the time with us now is a lot more precious than anything ever was, no one has the right to affect it, not even you!”>>>>.
that is what we think but our parents and all the faiths in the world want us to live in past…they want us to copy everything what took place in past… they want us to behave like they did in their time… and these days because of the lack of resources i.e electric,gas and water even some government and some communities want us live like cave men lived… so sometime past might be bad to remember but sometime it does help in sort out present and future only because past was the beginning of today.
Thank you Kimat for the thoughts :) .
Ha Ha, I completely agree Kimat, I guess people will always be advocates of what they think is right and what they have always thought is right. They might also want us to emulate the same or emulate the characteristics of those who they think were the ideal people of their century!
I agree to the thought Kimat, the past is a very good lesson, the past is a very good pointer, but I guess that is probably where its role ends, the moment it starts hurting the present or creating a challenge to the present, I think it needs to be relooked. The thoughts of past are certainly great facts to deal with but at the same time, they are always welcome as a supporting statement, but as an impediment, I think we probably would need to tread a little with caution :)
Vinay thank you for the reply and you are right, past is only good for the story or the reference otherwise living in present keeps this world going haha.
its funny how our memory works. We try to cram for an exam or remember a name or a phone number..and bam!! we go totally blank…We try to forget the past and its etched in memory with all the nitty gritty details. I saw this quote on facebook…not sure of the exact words. it was a picture of a car from a driver’s point of view with a rear view mirror. the words were something to this effect : “We do have to look at the back, but if we do it all the time, we will miss what is right in front of us.” nice write up :)
The past was Yesterday, wasn’t it? http://t.co/oNP86k47Lf
