We are obsessed with “the next.”
The next promotion. The next vacation. The next weekend. The next notification.
We live our lives as if we’re in a waiting room for this big event that never actually starts.
Because we are always looking ahead, we are never actually here.
This is the ultimate thinking mistake: The belief that life is something that happens later.
When you live this way, time evaporates.
You wake up on a Monday, blink, and it’s Friday. You celebrate New Year’s, blink, and it’s October.
If you feel like life is moving too fast, it’s because you aren’t living it.
You’re just ruminating on it.
