Have you ever been driving along, thinking about something else entirely, and suddenly realized what a beautiful day it is? How on earth did you drive that far without noticing that? You were probably only paying nominal attention to what was going on around you, because you were busy thinking about what needed done when you got to where you were going, or making a list of things you need to do this weekend, or planning ahead for some event that's coming up. Which is totally understandable- we all do that, and you have to plan for the future, right?
Well, yes and no. While it's great to be prepared in life, it's also really easy to let 'right now' slip away while you're busy thinking about the future. Sure, driving is boring and repetitive, but I've seen people let the weekend, vacations, even whole years pass them by without a single moment of relaxation or appreciation, because they're too focused on what's next. So take a moment to step back every now and then, and look at what is, not just what will be. Live your own life, not your future self's life. Cheers!
