building or dreading

“…if you dread tomorrow, it’s because you don’t know how to build the present, and when you don’t know how to build the present, you tell yourself you can deal with it tomorrow, and it’s a lost cause anyway because tomorrow always ends up becoming today…”

love this quote i found on my friend’s gchat.  it’s flows perfectly with creating purposefully. i love how simple it is.  right now, this instant, you have a choice.  you can choose to build or choose to dread.  you can establish a vision, determine what you want out of life and go hard or you can lay in bed and hope tomorrow never comes (even worse you can waste time hoping tomorrow will magically be better even though you’ve done nothing).

I also  think this thought is quite relevant for today’s marketers.  as we were forced to navigate this recession, a lot of people didn’t know what to do or how to adjust as the bottom fell out of the market.  even now, i’m sure a lot of marketers sit, dreading what the sales report will say in the morning.  we can dread all we want, but unless we get up and start building, tomorrow is going to be exactly like today.
