Chances are that right now, at this very moment you have something in mind that you want to do; something you want to accomplish in your life. But you’re busy or not ready, or whatever today’s excuse is, and so, you are deciding that tomorrow will be the day, because there are all these tomorrows to choose from in that future you envision in your head.
I’m not ready to be in or get out of a relationship, I’ll do it in some tomorrow.
I’m not ready to leave my job, I’ll do it in some tomorrow.
I’m not ready to start anew, I’ll do it some tomorrow.
I’m not ready to (insert your dream here), I’ll do it some tomorrow.
Have you thought about what’s special about tomorrow? Will tomorrow bring magical courage or discipline that, for whatever reason, you don’t possess today? Think about it, since today was yesterday’s tomorrow, why isn’t today special?
If you don’t know the answers and/or think that somehow, tomorrow will be different, then I recommend that you take 20 minutes to watch the video below. Zach Sobiech will remind you of just how special and unique today is, and maybe you’ll understand it’s not to be taken for granted.

Clouds
Well I fell down, down, down
Into this dark and lonely hole
There was no one there to care about me anymore
And I needed a way to climb and grab a hold of the edge
You were sitting there holding a rope
And we’ll go up, up, up
But I’ll fly a little higher
We’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
Up here my dear
It won’t be long now, it won’t be long now
When I get back on land
Well I’ll never get my chance
Be ready to live and it’ll be ripped right out of my hands
Maybe someday we’ll take a little ride
We’ll go up, up, up and everything will be just fine
And we’ll go up, up, up
But I’ll fly a little higher
We’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
Up here my dear
It won’t be long now, it won’t be long now
If only I had a little bit more time
If only I had a little bit more time with you
We could go up, up, up
And take that little ride
And sit there holding hands
And everything would be just right
And maybe someday I’ll see you again
We’ll float up in the clouds and we’ll never see the end
And we’ll go up, up, up
But I’ll fly a little higher
We’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
Up here my dear
It won’t be long now, it won’t be long now

I watched this video yesterday, and I teared up so much. It’s so sad and beautiful at the same time. A great inspiration and reminder that we shouldn’t put off our dreams.
