Tomorrow

The poor, the unsuccessful, the unhappy, the unhealthy are the ones who use the word tomorrow the most.
Robert Kiyosaki

How often do you think about tomorrow? Do you think about tomorrow as being better or worse than today? Perhaps the worst thing you can do is to create an unconsious conflict within yourself between your here and now, where you don't want to be, and the projected future, where you want to be; a state of mind in which you don't want what you've got, and you want what you haven't got. Whenever you have a mental conflict like that, you have a problem.

To a person who is emotionally healthy, there is no false seperation between the past, the present, and the future. All that matters is what he wants and what is going on around him right here and now that he can utilize to move towards what he wants. He knows that success is a journey instead of a destination, and life is intended to be for the purpose of enjoying the ride. He knows that no matter what his circumstances are, no matter what happens to him, there is much to be grateful for right now; it is only right now that he can think, feel, and act towards what he wants.

The poor, the unsuccessful, the unhappy, the unhealthy are the ones who use the word tomorrow the most. It is they who believe that they have no control over the future, and so they vainly hope that something good is going to happen independantly of anything they think, feel, or do. It is they who see tomorrow as seperate from today so that nothing they do today can influence it. It is they who are victims of circumstance. But you know better. You know that the most empowering place you can be is right now. There is no tomorrow.
