FTT: Life is Right Now

FTT: Life is Right Now

Happy Free Thoughts Thursday, people.

Let's talk about life.

Don't forget you can apply for 1 on 1 coaching here.

1 Thought From Me:

"Your days are your life in miniature. As you live your hours, so you create your years. As you live your days, so you craft your life." — Robin Sharma

There are a lot of things I want to improve about myself.

I want to be more concise when I speak, to be calmer in stressful situations, to be closer to financial independence, to be more grateful for what I have and to be happier with who I am.

I want to be fit and I want to be successful.

I often imagine the future and see this version of myself existing somewhere down the road, and then I wonder: where does the current version of me end and this future version of me begin?

Is there some magical moment where the person I want to be suddenly appears?

Doubtful.

So then, where does he come from?

There's a difference between how we imagine our lives and how we experience our lives.

We imagine our lives as one continuous amalgamation of every moment we've ever experienced in the past and will experience in the future.

But we experience our lives one moment at a time.

Right now I'm experiencing life one character at a time as I type this newsletter.

And so do all of us. One decision at a time, one emotion at a time, one paycheck at a time.

There is no magical moment separating who we want to become from who we are right now.

There is no magical moment separating the life we want to live from the life we live right now.

There is no difference between being happy for the rest of our lives and being happy right now.

Being happy right now is being happy for the rest of our lives, because right now is a microcosm of our lives as a whole.

We can't possibly do anything for the rest of our lives. We don't have that kind of power.

But we have the opportunity every day, every moment to choose what kind of person we want to be and what kind of life we want to live.

And what we make of those opportunities determines what we do for the rest of our lives.

We can't wait for some magical moment to turn us into who we want to be.

We get to be that person right now. Today.

And in doing so, we become that person for the rest of our lives.

"The words you speak, the thoughts you think, the food you eat and the actions you take are defining your destiny—shaping who you are becoming and what your life will stand for. Small choices lead to giant consequences over time. There’s no such thing as an unimportant day." — Robin Sharma

Live your life to the fullest,

Chris
