Tomorrow

What's wrong with the world today is that we don't care about the world tomorrow.

If we cared about the world of tomorrow, we would stop doing what looks good and feels good and start doing what actually is good.

If you care about the environment of tomorrow, stop mandating green technology until it actually works. You'll save more birds from wind energy, more freshwater systems from burnt-out solar grid batteries, and more people from exploding electric cars. Find the use in every mundane thing you would otherwise throw away, and use it when/if you can. Grow a garden- not just food, but something that makes you happy. Turn off the lights and the water and the AC when you don't need them.

If you care about the people of tomorrow, stop paying for entitlement programs and spending them into financial crises. You'll save them the headaches and high blood pressure and teach them to take care of themselves when the world is bankrupt.

If you care about the society of tomorrow, act. Serve at a soup kitchen or a food drive. Smile at someone who looks like they need it. Start a business and bring jobs to the local economy. Start a nonprofit and invite volunteers wherever they're needed. Donate a little more than just your money or your possessions. Join a club and be part of a community. Learn something new- and then pass it on. Be genuine. Be kind. Put some effort into making the world a better place. Write if you can, talk when you can, think as you must, and then DO something. All of the pretty words and thoughts in the world are still just thoughts and words until you act on them.

Even if you only care about your ownself of tomorrow, start doing your own work! Stop being jealous of the people who have it better than you. Ask them HOW they became so successful and then do what they did. Who knows? Maybe along the way you'll become as helpful to other people as other successful people were to you. Maybe by the time tomorrow finally rolls around, you'll care about more than just yourself.
