Today's Actions Shape Tomorrow

~ Thomas S. Monson

Today's Actions Shape Tomorrow

Could you do something today to shape your tomorrow? Could you be intentional with your actions and choices that align with your values and dreams to create a foundation for the future you see and take simple steps toward realizing your goals?

Each passing day is a thread that weaves the fabric of our future. What you do today will be part of your tomorrow and influence the course of your journey. Small things AND big things.


When I decided to take a few days out of my schedule to spend time to discover my values, vision, goals, motivation and beliefs, a few years ago, I did not realize then that that decision had been instrumental in where I am today. Has it been an easy, fast track for me? No, not at all, but it helped ignite (or intensify) my passion for helping others in their self-love discoveries. It was the foundation for creating the MeTreat program, which is available now for anyone going through transitions and looking to clarify what is next.

As I move closer to the point in my life where I wish to prioritize fun, travel, and family, I find myself increasingly mindful of this goal each day. I journal about that vision, read books and talk with friends about the next chapters in our lives. I dream :)

We all talk about how time flies, right? The days are so short.

Think about it: Today will be in the past tomorrow.

Our attitude, actions, and decisions will be part of the days ahead. Every decision and action sets the stage for what's to come. Whether pursuing our dreams, nurturing relationships, or investing in our well-being, our choices shape our future experiences and opportunities today.

But why is it so important to recognize the significance of the present moment?

Because it's in the now that you are mindful of your actions and intentions today, you have the power to create meaningful change and shape the direction of your life. 

Of course, I don't mean ignoring the past or disregarding the future. Instead, it's about finding a balance between learning from your past experiences and planning for the future while fully allowing yourself to be in the present moment.


So, what can you do today to shape your tomorrow? It could be as simple as setting intentions for the day, taking small steps toward your goals, or prioritizing self-care and well-being. 

Here are 3 journal prompts you can use and ask yourself each night:

  1. Reflect on Your Actions: Take a moment to journal about your actions today and how they align with your long-term goals and values. What choices did you make that moved you closer to your aspirations? Were there any decisions or behaviors that may have messed with your progress? Use this reflection as an opportunity to course-correct and realign your actions with your intentions for the future.

  2. Envision Your Ideal Tomorrow: Close your eyes and imagine your ideal future. What does it look like? How do you feel? What are you doing? Journal about this vision in vivid detail, capturing the essence of the life you want to create. Then, consider what steps you can take today to bring that vision closer to reality. What actions can you prioritize to move you in the direction of your dreams?

  3. Gratitude for Today's Opportunities: Reflect on the opportunities and experiences you encountered today, big or small. What moments brought you joy, fulfillment, or growth? Take time to express gratitude for these blessings in your journal, acknowledging their role in shaping your journey. Consider how you can build upon these opportunities tomorrow to continue progressing to success and fulfillment.

As we journey through life, let's remember that today is a gift—an opportunity to make a positive impact, to create lasting memories, and to lay the groundwork for a brighter tomorrow. So seize the day, embrace the power of the present, and watch as your actions shape the beautiful tapestry of your future.
