Make Time to Experience Tomorrow

For centuries, some of the greatest minds to ever walk this planet have wrestled with the notion of tomorrow. While some say it exists, others are equally adamant that there simply is no such day. Apollo Creed, a character in the Rocky movie series, while working to motivate Rocky shouted, "There is no tomorrow!" As an impressionable young man, that movie line hit home with me and I've clung desperately to that belief for decades. To others, tomorrow is simply a very convenient word used to explain or excuse why they are not doing something today.


This morning at sunrise, while sipping hot coffee and giving my brain time to run free, it hit me that THIS was tomorrow! No, not this entire day, but those moments in time. Tomorrow, I've discovered, is a place in time between yesterday and before today truly gets underway. But it's more than a place in time, it's also a state of mind. We now know that dreams are our brains way of processing and learning from the events and interactions of the previous day. So, to be specific, tomorrow is a place in time and a state of mind that can only be realized when you rise to meet the day. It is where you revisit the successes, failures, memories, feelings, and events from the previous day or days gone by, while also pondering your plans, goals, hopes, and dreams for the new day and beyond. Tomorrow is truly a very magical place where hope grows and emotional fuel is generated for the next leg in the very difficult and challenging pursuit of your dreams. Its duration seems to be somewhere between 7-10 minutes long and afterward, it's simply gone and the time has come to evolve, apply, save the changes, and take on today!


Yes, there is a place in time called "tomorrow" and you can find it today or you can just keep waiting until tomorrow.
