accountable action, carpe diem, little big things, road to success, seize the day, the power of now, walk in your destiny

“Every day is an opportunity to excel and elevate. Life is like a marathon: you can build endurance on the treadmill; however, you’ll never cross the finish line if you remain stagnant. You have to pound the pavement and press forward – win, lose, or draw – your best days are ahead of you.” –@StevieStreets | #seizetheday circa 11/19/2015

To transmute the dream, all you need is accountable action.
Your success is dependent upon the little BIG things;
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
And the water cuts the rock through persistence.
You cannot finish what you do not start
And you will never finish what you do not complete.
If you plan to be successful, you must first plan to start.
If you want to actually be successful, you must masterfully plan to the end.

The perfect time never arrives,
NOW is always the perfect time to start.
If you want to separate yourself from everyone else,
Always finish what you start.
You do not have to wait until you are the best to think ten steps ahead,
Visionaries possess the ability to see ten steps ahead in view of the fact that they plan all the way to the end.
If you desire to master the discipline of getting things done,
You must always see things through to the end.
There’s only one little thing between you and the finish line,
There’s only one little thing that’s preventing you from achieving your dreams.
If you dare to be successful,
Henceforth, you must do what successful people do.
Your success is contingent upon this one little thing that all successful people do.
To reach your goals and achieve your dreams,
You must be willing to do that one little thing that all successful people do,
You must simply start.
There will never be a day that is greater than today.

Someday is not a day on the calendar,
The most important day of your life is today.
With that being said; ask yourself:
“What are you going to do to be successful, today?
Are you prepared to live your best life, today?”
Then proceed to do what successful people do,
Seize The Day by taking that one step towards the direction of your dreams today.
If you dare to be successful,
You must promise yourself one little big thing today.
If you dare to be successful,
You must vow to never put off until tomorrow that in which you may accomplish today.
There’s only one little thing that can keep you from reaching the finish line,
There’s only one little thing that will keep you from holding fast to your dreams.
If you dare to be successful,
Henceforth, you must become painstakingly persistent.

Your journey to success is contingent upon this one little habit that all successful people exhibit.
To stay the course on your road to success,
You must exercise the powerful habit,
You must be religiously consistent.

There will never be a driving force as unstoppable as determination.
Discipline and dedication are the traits that will fuel your burning desire when the process cannot be fathomed as progress.
Are you prepared to continue firmly in the face of adversity,
To achieve your goals?
Are you prepared to press forward and remain poised while under pressure,
To achieve your goals?
If you desire to live your best life,
Trust the process and remember without pressure the diamond is just a chunk of coal.

If you dare to be successful,
You must persistently pursue your goals.
If you dare to be successful,
You must vow to stay the course until you reach your goal.
If you dare to be successful,
You must emulate the water that persistently pressures the rock,
If you expect to break through those hard times in pursuit of your goals.

In the journey of life,
Neither talent nor brute power will ensure a successful journey.
In the journey of life,
The power of habit is the one little thing that will give you the competitive edge throughout the journey.
In the journey of life,
Persistence is the Godspeed and the godsend that alchemizes ordinary men into extraordinary men throughout journey.

The ability to persist is paramount to your ability to exist amidst the journey.
The impossible is made possible by those who persist and resist the urge to quit amid the journey.
Those who possess the preoccupation to persist shall always tenaciously trek forward.
Those that refuse to quit will always transcend the journey.
When you learn to walking your destiny, going the extra mile becomes merely another step in journey.

Seize the Day revisited

carpe diem, make use of time, mindfulness, seize the day, the power of now

Someday is not on the calendar… 

all we have is today.
Stop and smell the flowers… 

be fully present – each second – each minute – each hour, today;

if nothing else, learn to cherish the day.
Don’t worry about tomorrow, forget about yesterday;

money has no value… time is the golden nugget of the day.
Do more of what you love… 

learn to make every second count today.
PRACTICE THE POWER OF NOW, 

learn to appreciate the beauty of life…

think happy thoughts, practice mindfulness today, 

spread your wings, give the sky a kiss today,

laugh harder, love longer,

eat more fruits, 

eat more veggies, 

drink water,

smile more, 

and let your inner glow beam like a sunray today.
Do more of what you love, today…

don’t worry about tomorrow, forget about yesterday.

Tomorrow doesn’t exist and yesterday is like a wilted flower;

yet life is for the living and nothing blooms better than today.
Stop and smell the flowers…

learn to appreciate the beauty of life today;

by all means, gather ye rose-buds while ye may.
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may…

Gather ye rose-buds while ye may…

Gather ye rose-buds while ye may…
Do more of what you love…

don’t just merely exist today.

Stop and smell the flowers…

learn to live today.
Stop and smell the flowers…

in the garden of life ye must plant seeds of joy

and spread love

like butterfly kisses while ye may.
Stop and smell the flowers…

walk on sunshine,

and live golden

like children that believe in dandelion wishes while ye may.
Stop and smell the flowers…

and gather ye rose-buds while ye may;

lest ye forget the most important day,

lest ye forget the most important day,

lest ye forget the most important day of your life is today.
Oh Captain, my Captain:

The most important day of your life is today…

The most important day of your life is today…

The most important day of your life is today…
Hope is not a strategy…

therefore you must command the day.

In the garden of life, time is like a beautiful flower;

and beautiful flowers always wilt away.
Life is no bed of roses…

yet ye must wake up and smell the roses each day.

In the garden of life ye must make use time,

Oh Captain, my Captain,

don’t let it wilt away.
Oh Captain, my Captain;

ye must stop and smell the flowers,

ye must gather ye roses while ye may.
Each day is granted twenty four hours…

yet ye may spend them how ye may.

Oh Captain, my Captain;

ye may live like the Dead Poets Society,

if you dare to Seize the Day.
If you dare to Seize the Day…

If you dare to Seize the Day…

If you dare to Seize the Day…
–@StevieStreets #carpediem| Seize the Day revisited

Seize The Day!

seize the day

The sky may fall tomorrow…

Yesterday may have been filled with sorrow…

 

I don’t care if the world comes to an end tomorrow night.

I don’t care if my heart was broken last night.

 

Today is a new day!

Today, I WILL SEIZE THE DAY!

 

The past and the future are illusions of the mind.

 

Thinking of the past and the future is a misuse of time.

 

THE PAST IS DEAD,

all I have is today.

 

THE FUTURE DOES NOT EXIST,

all I have is today.

 

There is no moment better than RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW…

I will cherish the day!

 

I am the moment, I AM HERE, I AM NOW…

I will become a transcendentalist today!

 

The perfect time never arrives…

I will become an alchemist today,

I WILL MAKE THE MOMENTS PERFECT TODAY!

 

The perfect time never arrives…

I will practice the power of NOW,

I WILL SEIZE THE DAY!
