There is old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the
(busy) day of the week”. How many
(time) have we put off our dreams until tomorrow? I’d say, too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here are the reasons.
Tomorrow is not promised. Nobody likes to talk about (dead), but the reality is——
is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Don’t go to your grave
unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.
You’ll be much (happy) if you go for it. Imagine how much happier you’ll be
you’re living the life you always dreamed about. The only thing
is stopping you is yourself. Take control of your own happiness. Don’t keep your dreams
(wait). Go after them today!
