How Big Was Your Yesterday?

The thought for the day of the Herald Sun Newspaper for June 6 was, “If what you have done yesterday still looks big to you, you haven’t done much today”.

It is a great point and one that I have already written a blog on. (How Big Is Your Today?”), but I also wondered how sometimes we might struggle to great todays, when our yesterdays are so big that it is almost impossible to repeat let alone improve on.

The guy who gave the above quote was one Mikhail Gorbachev, former President of the Soviet Union and the one who helped bring “Perestroika” between Russia and the world. Something that would be hard for him to top, no matter how long he lives! Yet he is not resting on his former glories but using his former fame to travel the world pushing his new agendas.

I think it pretty safe to say that he will never reach the same heights of fame or success, but he will still have new successes and new glories, even if they never quite match past yesterdays.

How are you going? Have you let the glories of the past over shadow and stunt your new and future Todays. Don’t let past successes stifle your present efforts. You might never top past successes but you can still have many more smaller ones. Don’t let your past stop your future. Get out there and make many, many more Todays!
