Today or tomorrow: What's more important?

We can save for our tomorrows but we must live each day for the day because "we" do not know what our tomorrows have in store for us. In life, "no-one" knows what their tomorrow will bring or if they will be living to see the next day. "No-one" is assure there will be a tomorrow because none of us have the ability to foresee the future. We, as people, should live each day like it's going to be our last and don't regret what we've chosen for the day.

We can plan for our tomorrows but none of us will know if our plans will ever come to a reality. Life is full of struggles, trials and tribulations for all of us and we should try to make the best out of everyday of life we have. As we open our eyes each day, we need to give thanks for waking to another day of light and with the reality we are still able begin another day. We should put forth our pace to achieve and accomplish as much as we can for the specific day and hope that we will be able to continue a tomorrow.

When we have set our minds and have the will to accomplish goals, most of us will perform to achieve those goals we have set for that particular day. We may have plans for our tomorrow but they are only plans because there's "no" assurance we will have a chance to fulfill them. Many of us go through life thinking, "Oh, I'll do that tomorrow or this can wait for tomorrow," but will it become a reality? As a young child, it was so easy for my childhood thoughts to dream of what my tomorrows had in store for me. There wasn't any thoughts about will there be a tomorrow? I would have bet my life there would be a tomorrow. Tomorrows were taken for grant and they continued to be taken for grant throughout my late thirties. Isn't it strange, I always felt there would be a tomorrow?

Isn't it strange how we planned so much for those tomorrows when we are young children, teenagers, and even into adulthood. There is never any fear that there won't be a tomorrow. We would take each day and live it to the fullest and didn't worry a thing about not seeing our tomorrows becoming a reality. Time takes its toll on our planned tomorrows as age robs us of our youth and one day we wake to find a stranger looking back at us in the mirror, and it finally dawns on us, there may not be a tomorrow.
