WE HAVE THE power to do what we want to do. We also have the power to procrastinate and deny our own desires.

Imagine that you have a gas pedal in your control. You can use it to go forward towards your dreams, your ambitions, your fantasies. You can click the gas pedal to activate the purchase of a ticket to that special destination. You can click yourself into that new home, or the new couch, or even the new diamond or golf club set.

How many times do you actually click to go forward? How often to you indulge yourself, satisfy yourself, pamper yourself?

Have you gone to a spa for a week, been massaged and lathered and draped in luxury? Have you gone to that special golf resort and played 18 holes a day for a week? Have you even given yourself the thrill of imagining your dream, playing out a fantasy in your mind? Have you gone for a test drive in your dream car? Have you eaten at that spectacular restaurant? Have you bought that fabulous suit?

The truth is, those who I work with, and those who I socialize with are in the OTHER majority. They hold on to the BRAKE. They STOP themselves at every thought of giving to themselves. They think they need the money for their future. They think they SHOULD save for their children. They think they SHOULD be satisfied with LESS than they really want. They don't want to appear SELFISH.

One man actually told me that it was "ridiculous" to want to travel at his age because he was limited in what he could do. What a foolish EXCUSE. After two weeks of working together he bought a ticket to China and had the most thrilling time of his life. He admitted that he didn't walk up the steps of the Great Wall, but he looked at it and walked along it and he saw it. He had tears in his eyes when he described the glorious trip he experienced. He finally decided to click the gas pedal instead of pushing against the brake.

TODAY is the first day of the REST of your life. TODAY is all we have, and it is the beginning of ALL that we might have and could have and absolutely SHOULD have.

So—what will you do with TODAY? Will you continue to hold the brake worrying about what might be or could be? Making excuses because you don't feel you DESERVE? Or will you climb to the heights of what YOU SHOULD HAVE and SHOULD DO?

We all have dreams. We all have hopes. And luckily, most of us have the potential and the capability of fulfilling some of these dreams and hopes. YET, we don't do it. I am here to tell you DO IT. DO IT. DO IT. Whatever it is that you want—go for it. NOW IS THE TIME. NOW IS THE MOMENT. NOW IS WHAT IS YOURS.

Remember, TODAY IS YOURS. TAKE IT and ENJOY it to the fullest. Life is delicious and there is a smorgasbord of tastes and glories and experiences that we haven't yet tasted—let go of the brake, grab the gas pedal and GO.

Always remember that LOVE IS THE ENERGY OF LIFE. LOVE YOURSELF, LOVE OTHERS AND LOVE YOUR LIFE. YOU HAVE THE POWER!
