The ACTORS of tomorrow

There is this inner force that keeps stopping us from achieving what we are set to accomplish in life. Many people today would have actualise their dreams and rule their world to a great and enviable extent if not for this inner force that remains their obstacle. This inner force is what I term "tomorrow".

Tomorrow is the word often used by the people who are not ready to act on their dreams, I also call it procrastination. Have you ever imagined when you see a signboard in a shop on which it is written "no credit today, come tomorrow"? Do you know what this ironically means? The shop owner knows that tomorrow will never come.

Reflecting this on our lives as people generally, there are many beautiful ideas on our mind, there is this VISION in our imagination begging for action everyday but most of us are actors of tomorrow, not actors of today.

Each time this door of opportuntiy is standing before us waiting to be opened, the actor of tommorow says "I will do it tommorow", when great possibilites opens arm to embrace them, the actors of tommorrow say "let's put it till tomorrow".

Unfortunately, until it comes to a day, that day that the opportunity will be gone and the actors of tommorrow will turn back to blame their friends, the government of their country, their parents...and the blaming continues just because they never acted at the right time.

The actors of tomorrow would have been celebrated by the world like Folorunsho Alakija, they would have set records like Usain Bolt, achieve their dreams like Mikel Obi, inspire the world like Professor Wole Soyinka, rule their own world like Aliko Dangote, and been role models to their generation like Seun Osewa of Nairaland among others.

However, procrastination has been the only inner force controlling most people. The people above did not just achieve their height by "miracle", but they refused to say "tomorrow", they acted towards their dreams everyday of their lives.

Winning the war against procrastination requires only one weapon known as ACTION, my dear brothers and sisters, by now you should be taking a decision, starting a project, making a move, seizing opportunities and fulfilling your dreams BUT you must act NOW!

According to Micheal E. Angier -"Ideas are worthless. Intentions have no power. Plans are nothing......unless they are followed with action. Do it now!"

If your dream is to become a writer, start writing, if your dream is to become a musician, start singing, if it is your passion to become an entrepreneur start creating, start taking the risk, start following your passion. JUST START ACTING.

Be an actor of today, not an actor of tomorrow
I look forward to seeing you at the top.

ACT

Dont throw away your tommorow.

@Ogaofficer, we must never throw away our tomorrow, but the right time to act is now, not tommorow.

Am imspired....but at times wen u follow ur passion n u get to a point u av this kind of feeling like " Am i sure av nt made d greatest mistake life?" just because, wot u taught was ur passion has started frustrating u n not making sense eventually..Life can b confusing bro

@hawlahethan

I agree with you to some extent, but if you go through the write up again you will see that it does not only talk about having a passion or following one's passion, but it lay more emphasy on the fact that even most people who have one passion or one dream or the other don't always summon courage to achieve them, but they mostly porcrastinate thinking that there is till time.

Though life can be confusing as you rightly said when things don't go as planned, BUT we should also know that life is not a bed of roses...we are bound to meet challenges and obstacles along the line but a determined and perseverent mind will surely get to the promised land.
