YESTERDAY YOU SAID TOMORROW

INTRO

Yesterday you said "tomorrow." Now today you're saying "maybe later." You ain’t tired. You’re just undisciplined. You’re not waiting for the right time you’re hoping your dream chases you. Every morning, he stared at the post-it note stuck to his mirror. In bold, black marker it read: “Yesterday, you said tomorrow.”

He’d written it three months ago. The ink had started to fade, but the weight of those words never did.

He was a dreamer. He dreamed of writing a book, starting his own business, getting back in shape.

But every dream had the same ending:

“I’ll start tomorrow.” But let’s be honest, how many times have we all said that and tomorrow comes we don’t do anything?

He became an expert at making plans and an amateur at following through.

Monday became Friday.

March became July.

His notebook was full of titles, outlines, gym routines, and business ideas, all perfectly untouched.

Then came the morning he couldn’t meet his own eyes in the mirror. He was tired of feeling like a lie.

He read the note again, this time aloud:

“Yesterday, you said tomorrow.”

But today… he didn’t.

He rolled up his sleeves and wrote one paragraph of his book. Just one. Then he went for a walk, nothing extreme. He registered a domain name he’d thought of two months ago. Not all at once, but all today.

For once, he didn’t wait for the perfect Monday, or the first of the month. He just began.

Tomorrow finally came, not as a promise, but as a result.
