Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now. – Denis Waitley

I got nothing tonight. It was open house and I wasted 3 hours of my life and only had 2 parents show up. I’m going to bed because bed is where I belong.  Before I do, I’m going to talk a bit about the fact that we all need to take control.

This is your life, and I get that there are lots of outside influences pushing you here, and pulling you there.  Take control, and block out those outside influences as much as you can.  You can’t change the past, you can’t predict the future.  You can only control the now.

So take control of your life.  Own your past mistakes and learn from them.  Set goals and reach for them, and live your life they way you want!
