Awesome Tomorrow

Author: Tommy Leung | 01.02.2010 | Category: Life

There are past accomplishments that hold a special place in our minds. We were awesome then. These are the stories of great triumph. They make us feel good. It’s nostalgic. And why not? It is always nice to look back and know that we’ve done something.

We were awesome yesterday but, that doesn’t make much of a difference today.

There are moments as we live them that we know are awesome. Lives are changing right before our eyes. Someone is better off. This feels even better than being awesome yesterday. We can confirm that we are still awesome. It’s nice to know that.

We are awesome today but, it’ll be yesterday tomorrow.

Then there are moments we haven’t lived. Will we be awesome then? Or did we already live our last great feat? Is greatness going to be a tease now? The unknown is scary–maybe our best days have passed.

Or our best days have yet to come. We might look at yesterday and forget that awesome took work. No great accomplishments happened by pure chance of luck. We were awesome because we chose to be.

Choose to be awesome tomorrow because that’s the one that counts.
