Many people dismiss the value of today by saying there is always tomorrow. Tomorrow I will spend time with my family; tomorrow I will exercise; tomorrow I will start that project; tomorrow I will start a retirement plan; tomorrow I will quit smoking; Tomorrow I will...
But what happens when tomorrow arrives? Nothing. Their mindset has not changed and they continue to live in the facade that tomorrow will be their big day of change. They have failed to realize that tomorrow is nothing more than today in a few hours.
If you’re putting off til tomorrow what you can very well achieve today, you are wasting precious time. You will never get another chance to relive a moment other than when the moment is present. Even now, the thirty seconds or so it took you to read up to this point are thirty seconds you will never get back. (But don’t stop reading - you need this stuff!)
If you’re banking on the future to be your salvation or turning point I ask you; how can you expect change in the future if you are unwilling to change today? Your future is now. With every second that passes by you have just experienced the miracle of living out the future while continuing in the now. Your future is only as good as your now.
Dig down deep and ask yourself if you have left anything undone due to the fact that you were planning to do it tomorrow. If you come across anything, I encourage you to stop putting these things off and get to work on them today. Even if you are able to schedule them in for tomorrow, next week or next month, whatever time you determine to do these things, commit to it and do not waver. Just stop putting things off by doing nothing. Time is too precious. Make the most of your time and your time will make the most of you.
