Today You vs. Tomorrow You

There are two you’s.

There’s the Today You and there’s the Tomorrow You.

The Today You is your enemy.

The Tomorrow You is your greatest ally.

• The Today You does not want to exercise
• The Today You does not want to eat healthy
• The Today You does not want to read to learn
• The Today You does not want to work long hours
• The Today You likes to spend money now
• The Today You has no dreams or goals

Tomorrow You

• The Tomorrow You requires delayed gratification 
• The Tomorrow You is focused on the future
• The Tomorrow You forgoes pleasure
• The Tomorrow You invests in themselves today for future rewards

There is a war raging inside each one of us between the Today You and the Tomorrow You.

You get to decide who wins that war.

For most, the Today You wins most of the time.

But for a few, the Tomorrow You wins most of the time.

The Today you will make your poor, unhealthy, unhappy and unfulfilled.

The Tomorrow You will make you rich, healthy, happy and fulfilled.
