For all the talk we hear of about the benefits of living in the present, we sure endure a lot of focus on the future.
How to be better when we graduate.
To get the promotion after the next review.
When we meet the right person for us.
When our ship finally comes in.
Ironically, the best way to guarantee a brighter future is to not think about the future.
What about today?
What are you learning, not what are you going to do when you graduate.
How to make today your most productive day instead of waiting for an employee review to seek a promotion.
Forget meeting the right person, be the right person.
I confess I live too much in the future and it is not a good place to be. So change must begin today.
There are no guarantees in the future. No way to will what we want so badly without first passing through this day.
Now I see the future as kind of a score at the end of an inning – no baseball player could say I want to win this game 5 to nothing without first playing the game half-inning by half-inning.
The same is true of life and of the fastest way to a brighter future.
