LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Looking back on today, what will you wish you had done? Now is your opportunity to fulfill those future wishes. Now is your chance to avoid the regrets. Now is a day to fill with life and love and effort and achievement. Now is the time you’ve been waiting for and working toward your whole life.

You’ll never look back and wish you had spent more time worrying. You’ll never look back and realize that you should have been more angry or resentful. So keep worry and resentment and anger out of your life today.

Instead, think of what you can do with this day that will cause you to look back on it with gratitude. Remind yourself, again and again, that this is your chance to actually do those things.

Right here and now, make your future wishes come true. And when you arrive at tomorrow, instead of empty, regretful wishes you’ll have the real, satisfying substance of a life being well lived.
