Tomorrow Should Be Better Than Yesterday

Tomorrow Should Be Better Than Yesterday

So sorry, I'm not riding on the bandwagon of the highly popular Korean movies but do allow me to borrow this Korean one-liner stating 'TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER THAN YESTERDAY'.  Sounds a run-of-the-mill but it's not folks.  It's too bad that many of us [even myself in the past], I always [wrongly] thought that for TOMORROW, I got nothing much to prepare because TODAY is good enough, so it won't be wrong to expect that TODAY and TOMORROW is a no-brainer comparison.

Does this sound familiar ?  You wake up, get out of bed, prepare your coffee, hop on to work, boot up your laptop, then, nothing... It's impossible to get in the zone.  Getting past the first few emails is a drag and you're just nor making progress.  it feels like you're not in control of your day.  You don't have the motivation to get stuff done, so you end up in the social media.  Been there, done that.  Hmmm, it's so easy to blame your environment, other people or 100 other reasons why you're not motivated to work.  But generally, it's you.  You need to really WANT THINGS TO GET BETTER.  Because if you skip your work today[or do a terrible job because you feel lousy], it is likely that your tomorrow will probably suck too.  The day after ? That will suck too.  Until you don't remember how this all started.  BREAK THAT CYCLE!

Angling for any tips to BREAK THAT CYCLE ?  So sorry, can't offer any tips other than you need to push yourself to WORK HARDER.  You need to want tomorrow to be better so badly that you can deal with pushing through the monotony today. The thing is, hard work is a NECESSITY, not a choice.  If we look at extraordinary people, they didn't become they were that talented and extraordinary.  Classic example is Tiger Woods.  Before he became what it is today, he was learning the ropes and hitting the balls at 3AM ?  And when it was raining, the more he practiced when it was raining !

The same story goes for extraordinary people like Lionel Messi [that famous Argentine footballer], NBA Great Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, amongst others.  In one of Lionel Messi's commercials, he said:  'I START EARLY AND I STAY LATE, DAY AFTER DAY, YEAR AFTER YEAR, IT TOOK ME 17 YEARS AND 114 DAYS TO BECOME AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS'. in brief, 'OVERNIGHT SUCCESS' should not be read literally because your timeline hinges on how lofty and ambitious your goals are.

C'mon folks, you don't need to plot grandiose plans.  It could be bread crumbs on face value, like if in the past you always woke up way past 7am, starting tomorrow, can you try waking up 15 minutes earlier ?  At work, you have been used to submitting your reports just in time for the deadline, starting next deadline, can you aim to submit a day earlier ?  If arguments with your partner are happening daily, can you aim for the next day to be argument-free ❓❓❓
