Tomorrow is too late

Tomorrow is too late. Too many of us spend our lives planning and hoping and dreaming about how wonderful our lives could be in the future. As a result, we failed to see how wonderful life is today.

— from The Relationship With Yourself (Traits/Reflection) · It’s all in your Head, written by Stephen Pollan and Mark Levine

In the book

And then, the hardest part: once you stop trying to control the past, you can finally let it go. And beware the mirror's opposite face, the future: if you look to tomorrow for your happiness you will always have the possibility of contentment but never quite arrive at it, for too many of us spend our lives planning and dreaming about how wonderful life could be and so fail to notice how wonderful it already is. [Here is the place for my own turbulence — write in, or let me tell you, about a season when I was my own worst critic, and what it took to quiet that voice.] — The Relationship With Yourself (Traits/Reflection)
