5: Staying Present

Looking forward to the next best thing that is going to happen in life is not inherently bad. However, constantly looking toward the future or the past for enjoyment or worry will continue to take the joy out of the moment that you are currently in. Right now is the only time that you are promised. The two days that you are not able to control are yesterday and tomorrow. You can control right now and today, so make a positive impact on today.

When you are with friends, family, or loved ones, stay off your phone, pay attention to them, and give them the time of day you would want them to give you. It isn’t about the time you spend with them, it is about the effort of your time spent with them. Stay present and enjoy the now!
