Tomorrow in Retrospect

Foresight over Hindsight

What is your plan for tomorrow?

And—what was your plan for tomorrow, yesterday?

"Tomorrow" does not have to be literal; it is more symbolic than a specific point in time. 

For dreamers, tomorrow is a hopeful vision of what is to come—something we dream about with wide eyes. For others, it is a comfort zone, a perpetual "later," a place to put things off. 

Tomorrow can be what you are waiting for, or it can be something you are actively building.

There may not be a right or wrong way to think about the future, but I know that simply waiting for it to unfold does not work for me. 

As a Christian, I believe in purpose and have the luxury of foresight, so leaving things entirely to the winds of chance feels… unnatural.

As an overthinker, I feel a duty to do everything I can to build a meaningful tomorrow. It is as though I owe it to myself—to the vision I hold—to be bold enough to reach for it with everything I have.

I see tomorrow as something crafted, not just hoped for. I do not believe it is enough to set a five-year goal without a five-year plan to achieve it. 

Tomorrow is not just going to happen to me; it is the place I mapped out yesterday and am stepping towards today.

If tomorrow feels daunting because life has made you lose hope in what lies ahead, remember: tomorrow is not set in stone; you can pick up from wherever you left off. There is always a way to start afresh. Permit yourself to dream again, perhaps a little bigger or even just a little differently. You owe it to yourself, and each small, intentional step will help you move forward.

So, if hindsight is 20/20, then maybe foresight could be 100/100 (Advanced Maths). Because if we look to tomorrow with that level of clarity and commitment, we are more than just observers. We are co-creators of the future we desire.

Again, what is your plan for tomorrow?
