I've read that the most important thing in writing is to write every day. I modify this and say: to write a little bit every day
I once asked my sister's guru when I would understand the meaning of life. He said: you will learn a little bit about it every day you live
Even my tai chi instructor on YouTube says: It isn't important that you do the movements correctly—what's important is that you make the time to move a little bit every day
Narcotics Anonymous, a group designed to help a person out of one of the most difficult situations a person has to get out of, has key tags to represent various lengths of clean time. Anyone will tell you, the most important one is the one you get on your first day there. It says: Just for today
There is something about today. About the here now. About this result of the serenity prayer: that I can't control you, and I can't control tomorrow or yesterday, but what I can control is me in this moment right here right now—today
It makes life simpler: to think about right now instead of thinking about the past and future. I can't write a book right now. I can't write a book today. But I can write 100 words, or 200 words, or 1000 words, today. That's all I can do. I can't make a photo portfolio today. I can charge my camera, put it in my pocket, and walk around the Earth, and look at beautiful things
That's all I can do
That's what I can do
That's what I am doing today
