"We have tomorrow right before us like a flame"

-Langston Hughes (1902-1967)

"We have tomorrow right before us like a flame."

Thank you Langston Hughes.

His words are a powerful reminder of the promise another day brings.

How will you take advantage of that promise?

What is calling you, pulling you, urging you to tomorrow?

The examples of people who answer the question everyday are endless.

Barringtion Irving became the youngest person to fly solo around the world. He did it last summer at the tender age of 23 years-old.

That same year, Katsusuke Yanagisawa became the oldest person to scale Mt. Everest. He was 71 years-old.

Nola Ochs graduated from college at 95 years-old -- 77 years after she took her first class in 1930.

Carl Wittee received his PH D when he was 12 years-old.

Young, old or in between, there are still moments to be had and records to be set. We still have things to do.

What is calling you?

It has to be more than the next job, promotion or assignment.

What is calling you?

Is it a trip to Paris or a walk through Central Park in NYC?

What is calling you?

Maybe it's walking part of the Grand Canyon, taking a nap on the beach in the South Pacific, or biking the Appalachian Trail?

What is calling you?

Take a moment.

Listen to yourself.

Answer the call.

After all...

we do have tomorrow before us like a flame.

Start moving towards it today.
