The key to self-creation is in your willingness to do very tiny things - but to do them TODAY. Self-creation is not an all-or-nothing game. Rather, it's a work in progress.
A little touch here and a small stroke there is what makes your day (and therefore, your life) great.Today is a microcosm of your entire life. It is your whole life in miniature. It's like... You were "born" when you woke up and you will "die" when you go to sleep. Think of it that way, so that you could live your whole life in a day.
Most of us, however, don't want it to be this way. If we were asked whether today could be used as a model to judge our entire life by, we would probably shriek, "Oh, no! It wasn't one of my better days. Give me a year or two and I'll live a day, I'm certain of it, that you can use to represent my life."
We want our lives to accumulate. To add up to something. We think of life as being strung together like a long smoky train, so that we can add new freight cars when we're feeling that the time is right for it.
