What Were You Going To Do Tomorrow?

Today is Yesterday’s Tomorrow – Jim Rohn

Whatever you said you were going to do “tomorrow,” or “later,” or “soon,” is now due.

Just act.

However imperfectly, or even incompletely, do something.

Get some results, learn something about your actions:

Did it work? Great! Why?

Build on that information, that feed-forward.

Did it not work? Great! How did it not work? It what way did it work? (Just because you don’t like the outcome, doesn’t mean your action didn’t produce results . . . and results are what we want.)

Build on that information, that feed-forward.

Time marches on, are you going to sit and watch the parade or get moving?
