"Now" what?

"There is no better time than now. The time to live is now. The time to dream is now. The time to imagine and forget the past is now. The time to shine is now. The time to bleed, sweat, and determine yourself for the things you want most is now."
(Anonymous)

Things happen in the "now." They don't happen in the past and they don't happen in the future... they happen "now." Sometimes "now" is a good thing, a 1st date, a spontaneous vacation, a passing mark on an exam you were worried about. However... sometimes your "now" is not so good.. bad news, a fight with a friend, an accident. What I believe is that whatever our "now" is, it quickly becomes our past and it is our challenge to use that "now" to enhance our future. Our "now" happens for a reason and we need to rise to its purpose and show the world that we are in control of our lives and no matter what life dishes out; that we are capable of finding good in the things that happen in our lives. Stand tall, dig deep, and know that your future is the sum of your "nows." More importantly... its how you handle what you are given that determines who you are. Your "now" is a gift, it just might still be in the package.
