If you don’t remember to be where you are, you’ll miss all the pleasures of this stage of life.
I notice that I am always mentally yearning to be somewhere other than right here. I’m always imagining the next stage of life: what will it be like when this finally happens? I am in this stage of life, but my mind is not. I’m not actually living my life, because I’m spending every spare moment imagining what the next stage of life will be like. But this stage where I’m at, is the “next stage” that I fantasized about in my previous stage. Yesterday’s tomorrow is already here, and unless we choose to recognize how precious it is, we’ll miss it.
