The present is all you really have to deal with. Life is not lived in some distant, imagined land of someday where everything is perfect. It is the reality of the here and now. Yes, you can work toward an idealized tomorrow but you must successfully deal with the world as it is today. Sometimes we avoid experiencing the present because we have developed a belief that it is not where we should be or want to be. Yet is where you are now that the journey begins to get to where you want to go tomorrow. So appreciate where you are. Friends and family are too beautiful to ignore. Take a moment to remember how fortunate you are. Take a look around, with your eyes earnestly open to the possibilities before you. Much of what you fear does not exist. Much of what you love is closer than you realize. You are just one brief thought away from understanding the blessing that is your life. Happiness is a mindset that can only be designed into the present. It’s not a point in the future or a moment from the past; yet sadly, this misconception persists. So many people seem to think all their happiness awaits them in the years ahead, while so many older people believe their best moments are behind them. Don’t be either of them. Don’t let the past and the future steal your present.
