Living in the Present
I wonder how many valuable experiences are lost when I don’t allow myself to become involved in them. Especially right now. I had a wonderful year at college, and am looking forward to going back in the fall. I spend so much time looking forward to it that I sometimes check out of my present life.
Even while I am doing something, my mind wanders to the exciting future. I lose focus on what is in my hands and dream about what can happen later. I am especially prone to do this when life isn’t easy and I don’t like what I am doing. This is a bad habit to get into. I don’t want to train myself to simply skip out on the hard stuff. Doing hard things is when you learn.
Live now. Take advantage of everything you are doing today. There are many lessons and skills that can be learned by what is happening right now. Why short yourself on life? It only happens once.
