So wie du heute lebst

So wie du heute lebst
So wie du heute lebst,
lebst du morgen.

As you live today,
you will live tomorrow.

A simple sentence, heard in Yoga class as a wisdom from the far-east.
At first I thought this is kind of stupid, defying any sense of change. But then I got the point - which is exactly this: if you want to change, if you want to get things done, don't start tomorrow. Don't think, I will do this tomorrow - you need to do it right now, or take the first steps. Otherwise, if you say today, that you will start tomorrow, that is exactly what you will say/do tomorrow too.
