What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?

Tomorrow is unseen. I am ignorant about the impending happenings. Nevertheless, I know that I am breathing now, am in full senses and vigorous enough to walk, if not run. So, why worry about the future? Why plan for tomorrow?

I am worried, as a normal human being would, but why panic? Will it help me solve my problem, or will it take me out of the situation I am in? Certainly not. It means I need to be calm and composed in my current time, which is momentarily difficult. Keeping myself cool, I can focus better on the issues that need immediate attention and think the ways to come out of the mesh. Is it that difficult?

It sounds difficult, but it is not. With persistent effort and doggedly pursuing things close to my heart and which I believe in, I can do better and improve. Does it sound optimistic but impractical? My path is my choice though it is fraught with challenges and obstacles. even if I have taken it under duress in crushing situations. I need to live up to it. How can I blame someone else or the situations, I feel are pathetic? I need to slough off the tendency to blame others for my wrongdoings. I feel elevated and proud. If things happen according to my liking, how come I start blaming others if they do not fall in line? Is it good or ethical?

I have been listening to the sermons about being happy since childhood. I was made to believe that we must think about the future and that things should be done keeping tomorrow in mind. At the same time it was also told that the world is like a pavonine soap bubble – beautiful but fragile and momentary. This led me to think about the relevance of worrying for tomorrow. I think I need to finish my work today, not keep it pending for tomorrow. Tomorrow is a day that never comes. It’s not merely a phrase but a reality. If it becomes necessary to roll over the work for tomorrow, I need to fix a date by which the work has to be finished.

Am I sounding haughty and captious who believe in unnecessary dissecting things? Judging a person or thing is a common occurrence. I do not want to judge by the ostensible appearance of things or situations. Like a judge in court, I need to see every possible aspect and consider every subsidiary thing before Judging a person, a situation or a thing.

Coming back to the point about the future planning. My precondition is to finish my work today. It is my commitment to myself, but somehow, if, due to unforeseen situations or because of other unavoidable conditions, I can’t finish it today, I need to organize it for tomorrow in a way the spillover does not spoil my scheduled work. I should not keep piling up work that becomes a nuisance and unmanageable.

I need to have an organized tomorrow so that I can enjoy every moment of it, as I do in the now. This is possible only when I am meticulous and organized in myself. This be called as my kind of self-imposed “discipline”. Only tomorrow can tell how far it is possible.

It should not be construed that I am negating tomorrow. It is a reality of time. The way the eternal time flow has been divided into seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years tomorrow is inevitable. My doing of current is going to roll over to tomorrow and affect it. To my perception, my now is all; the past has already been gone and the future is unknown. I need to take my current seriously and take care of it well.
