How not taking action could be the worse thing we could ever do As a young boy, Adam was one of the children in the school ground that never participated in the games of sport.
When the teacher asked him to participate in the game, he said he couldn't because he was feeling ill and needed to sit inside.
He knew this was a lie; it was just he was scared to go out and play in case he got hurt.
"Tomorrow I will do it!" he exclaimed.
But he didn't! Adam was now twelve and for his birthday his parents bought him a go-kart, but this was no ordinary go-kart - this had special wheels so that the go-kart could go very fast.
Adam's friends came round and all wanted to play, so he let them use it, but when it came to his turn he said he was too hungry to go in the go-kart, so he just sat down and watched his friends play.
He knew this was a lie; he was scared to play on the go-kart in case he got hurt.
"Tomorrow I will do it!" he exclaimed.
But he didn't! Adam was now twenty and he was in a bar with his friends having a drink when a beautiful lady came up to him and started talking.
They talked for a while and then when she asked him if he would like to meet up again, he said that he was just too busy with work and he had to decline.
He knew this was a lie; he was scared to meet her in case he got hurt in the future.
"Tomorrow I will do it!" he exclaimed.
But he didn't! Adam now at the age of forty had a great career and was ready for promotion to branch manager.
When the final day came and his manager approached him to offer him the position, he declined saying that he had too many things to do at home.
He knew this was a lie; he was scared to take the promotion in case he got hurt by not being able to do the job.
"Tomorrow I will do it!" he exclaimed.
But he didn't! Adam was now eighty-five years old, lonely and just living on his meagre pension.
He sat in his cold house dreaming of all the things he wanted to do but had not allowed himself to, because he never faced up to his fears of getting hurt.
"Tomorrow I will do it!" he exclaimed.
But as he took his last breath, one fateful night, tomorrow never arrived.
