From the moment my day begins, I believe that every activity I engage in contributes to my personal and professional growth. However, I also feel that every minute spent dwelling on the past or worrying about the future is a pointless and unnecessary waste of time.

The past and the future don’t truly exist—they live only in the minds and emotions of those who allow their happiness to be stifled by not living in the present, by failing to enjoy every single minute of the day. The past teaches us lessons, and the future is shaped by each small action we take along the way.

The choice to be happy is made here and now—let’s not waste another moment deciding whether or not to be happy.
