The Best Thing About the Future According to Abraham Lincoln
There is a famous quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln that I once jotted down in my notes. Whenever I start to feel anxiety about the future, I reflect on it as a reminder to be optimistic. Lincoln is credited with saying:
The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
For me, this little quote is the perfect reminder that the future is not set in stone. Each day there is a chance to say no or yes to something that will change the future. There is also time to plan and execute the changes you want to see, no matter how big or small. To put it another way, each day is a gift from the future; and the best way to show gratitude for that gift is to use it wisely.
