This day belongs to me. I can do wonderful things with it, creative things, including the creation of order in my surroundings and in my mind. Nobody else owns my particular segment of time, so it depends only on me how well I will fill every moment to the satisfaction. ... live one day at a time. This is that day.

Change

Change is the necessary order of this world.  I have been doing it all along.  I can do it quite successfully now, too.  (Karen Casey, Keepers Of The Wisdom, 12 April) 29 May 2012

Checklist

People can, and do, squander hours of their lives in thought streams that produce nothing of value at all. (Ratey and Johnson, Shadow Syndromes, p. 334-5)

Never be completely idle, but be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or working some way for the common good. (Thomas 'A Kempis, The Imitation Of Christ, Book 1, Chapter 19, p. 48)

We must examine our outward and inward affairs and set them both in order, for both are necessary for our spiritual progress. (Thomas 'A Kempis, The Imitation Of Christ, Book 1, Chapter 19, p. 48)

... look closely at yourself and your very personal aspirations, and appreciate the absurdity of running your life on the basis of comparisons with others ... (Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Pulling Your Own Strings, p. 76)

Take Your Time

Avoid trying to set your whole life in order all at once. (As Bill Sees It, p. 308)
