Be the King of Today
Motivation is often hard to come by. All of us have ideas, hopes, dreams -- but the motivation to actually started is often tough to come by. 
It's easier to hesitate, wait for the right moment, decide we need to think a little longer or do some more research or explore a few more alternatives...
... and days, weeks, months, even years pass us by.
So do our dreams.
Don't let today be a day you will look back and regret. Whatever you've been planning, whatever you've imagined, whatever you've dreamed of -- get started on it today. If you want to start a business, take the first step. If you want to change careers, take the first step. If you want to expand or enter a new market or offer new products or services, take the first step. Get started. Do something. Do anything.
Otherwise today is gone. Once tomorrow comes today is lost forever.
Today is the most precious asset we own.

We only have a limited number of "todays."
Don't let this today slip away.
