2 Powerful Techniques To Beat Tomorrow, Right Now
They are easy and yet, you keep ignoring them…
Forge’s “Beat Yesterday” slogan is catchy and positive. Yet, it emphasizes the wrong goal. Beating yesterday may be great, but what if you did nothing yesterday? Then, beating tomorrow shouldn’t be all that hard!
The real objective should be to beat the tomorrow you would have if you didn’t change today. If you did one push-up today, would tomorrow be better? Yes, but not by much.
Does this mean you shouldn’t do it? On the contrary, that’s the first thing to do.
Start now and fail
Don’t push things away. Don’t give excuses. Don’t expect tomorrow to give you more opportunities. Don’t regret not having done anything yesterday. Do it now.
“The secret to getting ahead is getting started.”― Mark Twain
Whatever you want to accomplish, you’ll need to start someday, somewhere, somehow. Would tomorrow be easier? Maybe. But maybe not, too. Would starting yesterday have been better? Yes.
And yet, keeping the focus on other times won’t change anything. You are here, today, now. Forget the rest and do what you can.
