One of our great motivational speakers was Jim Rohn. We lost Mr. Rohn in December of 2010. He has left a legacy of motivation including this quote, “Either you run the day or the day runs you”.

A simple but powerful saying. If you stop and think about it, it is about planning and following through on your plans. Either you make plans and follow through or you allow the circumstances of the day control your direction.

How powerful is that? Too often we just drift through our days without thought to the way we are headed or even how the day will end.

What a powerful change we could make with a little thought as to what we could accomplish each day. If we took charge of our agenda instead of letting circumstances take charge of our lives.
