Looking Into the Future While Being Present in the Present

Inspiration

I have been spending the past few days thinking, dreaming, and planning about the future. It can be a fun place to be when there are so many possibilities. I saw a sign in a class that I sub for that said “Where do you want to be? Where are you now? What is the path to get there?” That is where I am right now… the how-do-I-get-there stage. I know exactly where I am and exactly where I want to be. Making the steps in between seems to be a little more difficult. I can be the type that will spend a lot of time dreaming about what things could be like and not spending the time acting on it to make sure I do actually get there. This weekend has been a little different though. I’ve been taking notes and taking action. A friend tells me that process is important and I think that’s what action towards a goal is … process. Taking the time to enjoy each micro-step on the journey. The future is looking brighter and I can’t wait to get there, but I don’t want to be living so much in my dreams that  I miss today and the opportunity of getting closer to tomorrow.


StumbleUpon It!

    Another great thought-provoking post. Goal setting is absolutely essential, but you are absolutely right that goal-setting is only the beginning. The hard part is figuring out *how* to get there. It’s a good reminder. That’s where I am as well. Glad to know I’m not alone :o )
