I'm guilty of stepping too soon under an already defeated day and wishing myself victory. In the limelight, under my breath, justifying. And then later, in reflection, believing the justifications. Later still, I realize its all bullshit.
There is no tomorrow.
Drag your eyelids open. Focus. Surrender to the process, and get to work. The bar will bite you, the pains will come sooner than you thought, they will last longer than you can believe, and, over time, the process will beat you to your knees. Accept it.
Do not be sidetracked by glory. Do not be swindled by success. Do not let the weight of your wishes employ its tactics of stopping you early.
Push on. Take another step forward. Lean into the punch.
What you save for tomorrow will only last as long as you can make tomorrow into today.
Save not, today is not tomorrow, and never will be.
