I, you, we spend a lot of time rehearsing the future, scripting it, editing it, having anxiety over it, becoming afraid of it and yet prefer to wallow in the future rather than reorienting ourselves to the present.
When the future scripting gets to be too much (and it’s always too much), look right in front of you and ask what is the thing I need to complete right now…what do I need to finish?
You can’t control the future, and I dare say you can’t even control the present, but at a minimum you can DO something in the present, you can decide to take the next step even if it’s a tiny micro step. Complete it.
Reorient to the present.
Reorient to the present.
Reorient to the present.
The best work and the only work you can do is what you decide to do right now.
So what is the next thing you need to finish?
