The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today: Today’s QOTD is some words of inspiration from H. Jackson Brown Jr. Life is busy and we are caught up in the daily stress of how life is going on, the future planning and the demands of the day. No matter how busy our life is – there is still a small element in us asking to take control and seize the day. Unfortunately we give the most common reason that we are too busy to think about what’s important. What if we were able to forgo that reason for just once and look at our days more strategically. The strategy asks us to focus on our dreams, passions and decide what’s most important to us.

If your dreams don’t scare you, they’re too small–Richard Branson

If your dreams don’t scare you: Our dreams define the size of our desire, ability to get inspired and push forward to create a route to achieve them. Small aim is a crime because it is not inspiring enough to make it happen. As Eleanor Roosevelt says, the future belongs to the people who dream. Richard Branson talks about the dreams that scare us. Dreams are supposed to be scary – if they are too easy, they don’t qualify to be inspiring enough. Today’s QOTD is Richard Branson’s words on dreams – if your dreams don’t scare you, they are too small.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams - Eleanor Roosevelt's Quotes - The future belongs to the ones who dream: Our dreams are constantly shattered by the limitations of reality. I've always been an ardent fan of thoughts on dreams. They make us think beyond what we have and engage, inspire a desire to do something better. In a way, these dreams get us out of our limitations and move to a world beyond these where things are possible. Such is the beauty of dreams. Another inspiring aspect of these dreams is that they don't stop. They find a way to pester us until we do something about it. As Eleanor Roosevelt says, reality keeps us grounded in the world as is. But the future belongs to the people who show the courage to dream. For, it is these dreams that create a version of the reality for tomorrow.

The Future Belongs to Those Who Believe in the Beauty of Their Dreams: Let’s talk about Eleanor Roosevelt’s quote on dreams for the QOTD today. I love all these quotes that make us dream, challenge reality and go beyond what we see. I think the biggest difference in the world is made by these dreamers who have the sense to challenge what we see for what we don’t.

Every pain gives a lesson and every lesson changes a person: We often ignore pain and distract ourselves from facing it. It is never nice to feel this pain – a distraction however gives us an easy, quick route to stop feeling this pain. Distractions can help in the short term, but they fail us with time. I love this quote by Abdul Kalam because it talks about the importance of pain, lessons it imparts and finally leads us to the point of self-reliance which enables us to take charge and do something about the pain.

Nothing is more difficult than the ability to decide - Napoleon

Let’s face it. Decisions are difficult. They don’t come to use at ease because there’s always something to lose. I don’t want to discount the pros and cons exercise because it has saved me in the past. For most simple decisions it works like a charm. If nothing, it transparently lays out in front of you the benefits and losses of the decision you’re able to make. And there’s a lot of merit to that.

Training the skill of confidence takes consistency, effort and learning from experiences. This ted talk from Dr Ivan Joseph talks about training the skill of self confidence so that we can approach our opportunities and challenges better.
