Life, as most people believe, is full of certain defining inflection points where a significant change is made whether we like it or not.  Here are a few:

• Our very first day of school
• Going to high school
• Getting our driver’s license
• Getting to see R-rated movies legally
• Legally being able to drink
• Graduating from college and joining the “real world”
• Having kids
• Retiring

This is too predefined for me. 

Every day is a potential inflection point.  Every day has the potential to be a day where we change our lives as drastically as when we get our driver’s license, we go to high school, and we get our first “real” jobs (if you’re the type that gets a job).

So –

Does your work suck?  Change it today.

Do you want to get up earlier?  Do it, starting tomorrow.

Do you want to be a millionaire in 5 years?  Decide today that you will.  Then do it.  Now.

Are you in crappy relationship?  Change the rules of the game or get out. 

Feel flabby?  Decide that starting today, you will not eat the 3rd, 4th and 5th Chipotle burrito and you will instead eat raw sugar snap peas, blend tasty fruit smoothies and drink Vitamin Water.

As I read somewhere, time is not spent.  We do not spend our time like money.  Time spends itself, whether we like it or not.  What we do with that continuously draining bank account is up to us.  It is our choice to be happy.  It is our choice to structure our lives as we see fit.

Make today an inflection point.  Don’t let life happen to you on society’s or someone else’s schedule.

Thanks for listening.
