Martin Luther King Jr. Quote on Taking Action and How There Is Such A Thing As Being Too Late

    “We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there “is” such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.”

    Martin Luther King Jr.

    Beyond the Quote (Day 383)

    There is such a time as too late. Just as quickly as yesterday has already come and gone—so, too, will today soon fade away. Procrastination is a very real and deceitful combatant that is waging war on our most precious commodity—time. And if we continue to align with apathy and complacency—procrastination will surely win and leave us with nothing behind except a head full of ideas and regret.

      “You could be good today. But instead, you choose tomorrow.”

      Marcus Aurelius, Medium

        “Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to used during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course? Each of us has such a bank, its name is time. Every morning, it credits you 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off at a lost, whatever of this you failed to invest to a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against ‘tomorrow.’ You must live in the present on today’s deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success. The clock is running. Make the most of today.” ~ Marc Levy

          “The greatest of all miracles is that we need not be tomorrow what we are today. The greatest of all insights is that we cannot be tomorrow what we do not do today. That is why today matters.” ~ John C. Maxwell, Today Matters

            Welcome to today!

              Spending today complaining about yesterday won't make tomorrow any better.

                Fools use tomorrow.  Wise use today.

                  “Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday…

                  … And all is well.” ~ J. T. Tindsley

                    “There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.” ~ Dalai Lama

                      “When it comes to eating right and exercising, there is no ‘I’ll start tomorrow.’  Tomorrow is disease.” ~ V.L. Allinear

                        “Today is a most unusual day, because we have never lived it before; we will never live it again; it is the only day we have.” ~ W. A. Ward

                          “One today is worth two tomorrows; what I am to be, I am now becoming.” ~ Benjamin Franklin
