Do you have a sense of what you want to do today? Tomorrow?  Next week?  Next month?  Next year?

Your future starts this second.  We realize that many before us have uttered this phrase.  But, we also realize that far too many have dismissed a chance to really, really pause and reflect on its reality.

The past is truly the past.  You can admire it if you liked it. You can brag if you are unfortunately so inclined.  You can wince if you look back and realize better deeds could have been done.  Or, you can stop wasting positive or negative energy from it and realize that the only thing that you can do is learn from it.

In life as we age we gain experience.  With experience comes wisdom.  With wisdom comes opportunity.  What will you do with your opportunity?

Boom Boom often offered this thought and challenge to anyone within his wide reach, “Your best days are right in front of you.  What will you do with them?”

What is your opportunity?  Boom Boom would say, that regardless of where you are today, your opportunities are many.  He found time to volunteer, mentor, serve in his faith, garden, etc.  This was all in addition to a “day job” with a work ethic second to none.

It’s obvious to all that he lived a full and fulfilled life by sharing anything that he felt could provide a meaningful benefit to family, friends, coworkers, club members, and many others.

Maybe you can pick a path and make a difference in your own special way starting soon.  After all, “your best days are right in front of you.  What will you do with them?”
