Tomorrow Never Dies

We could also say ‘Tomorrow Never Comes’ and ‘There is Always Tomorrow’ but you and I never do anything ‘tomorrow’ because all of a sudden – overnight – tomorrow becomes ‘today’.

Tomorrow is still there, it always exists and so it never dies, but we can never reach it.

You and I should never plan to do something ‘tomorrow’ or tell anyone something will happen or arrive ‘tomorrow’.

Now of course, most people assume or understand ‘tomorrow’ means the next day, but that’s just the same, because there’s always a next day, as just as tomorrow, it turns into today.

Often, deciding to do something tomorrow is simply procrastination or just not being ready to carry out some activity we need to undertake to meet an objective.

It can also be a technique we use to ‘put somebody off’, maybe because they’re asking us to do something we don’t really want to do.

Putting stuff off until tomorrow demonstrates a lack of discipline, and I admit I do it myself, far too often, usually by shifting items on my daily plan one column to the right, which is rather too easy to do, particularly if it’s a repeat item.

As an example, I started writing this today, putting it off from yesterday.

What’s the answer?

To overcome this creeping procrastination and lapse of personal disciple, what you and I should do is define the day.

If we don’t need or want to do it today, then we should promise ourselves or others, to do it, whatever it is, on a certain day or preferably date.

We could say “I’ll do it on Tuesday” but that would still leave it open to the question ‘which Tuesday’?

Here’s the thing, define the day, the date, day, month, year, and make a promise to yourself whatever it is will be done or finished and delivered by then.

Remember, tomorrow is never ‘only a day away’.
