Tomorrow is a new day?

Tomorrow is a new day?

Indeed, it is. But, the fallacy of thinking that tomorrow will make things better just by being "tomorrow" gets so many people. The issue of "feeling more like it tomorrow" makes me think of a story I read about a sign in a butchers shop in Poland.

Translated into English, the sign read: "Today you pay and tomorrow you get it for free." When the customer would come back the next day (tomorrow) for their free goods, the butcher would say, "Read the sign: Today you pay, tomorrow its free."

Tomorrow, as beautiful as it may seem, tomorrow in which "I'll really feel like it" is always a day away. It never becomes today.

I'll do it tomorrow - the basic issue with procrastination. In fact, the Latin roots of the word means "to put forward to tomorrow". Yet, as the butcher explained with his sign, that tomorrow never really comes.
