Wait One Moment....
Didn't You Promise Tomorrow Will Be Better Than Yesterday?
Life has a practice of living you, if you don’t live it. - By Philip Larkin.
Although these words may seem harsh yet powerful, it may be difficult to find more appropriate words to describe daily habits.
Have you ever ended a day thinking maybe tomorrow will be better?
Then tomorrow comes, and you think okay maybe tomorrow will be better…..
Then again another day comes, and you think okay the next tomorrow will be better?
Oops… before you know it your living daily, weekly, monthly or even year after year waiting and thinking tomorrow will be better.
But the real question and test to verify if tomorrow will be better is,
What are you currently doing purposefully and intentionally right now at this very defying moment to really make tomorrow better? I bet that hurts! Doesn’t it?
If you’re like most people, your honest answer is nothing!
Remember in the famous words of Philip Larkin “life has a practice of living you, if you don’t live it.”
So, where do you go from here….
Let’s at least pause to take a look at yesterday, what went well? Write them down…..
What things could be improved? Write them down….
Let’s purposely and intentionally work to improve everything that we do by at least 1% daily to guarantee that our tomorrow will be better!
1% isn’t much right?
Well, after 100 days, based on the compounding principle, do you realize that you could cumulatively improve my 100% ?
Need help focusing and getting better by at least 1% daily? Why not find a self improvement buddy or coach to challenge you?
All The Best!
Remember Slowly and Steadily....
