Be there
Wherever you are, be there fully. For where you are is where
you can most effectively act and live.
If you're constantly wishing that you were somewhere else,
you diminish the opportunities for where you are now. When
your thoughts are in another place or time, your actions
lose much of their effectiveness.
It's great to dream, to plan, to aspire, to reach for new
and improved circumstances. And yet the way to successfully
do that is by being the best you can be in the place where
you now find yourself.
It's great to keep yourself focused on an ambitious goal.
And that focus is the most effective when it is crafted from
the perspective of where you are now.
To successfully travel the path from here to there, you must
start with being fully here. The more you give your
attention and your energy to making the most of where you
are, the more quickly you'll move along that path.
There is much to be accomplished, much to be lived in every
place and in every moment. Be there fully for all of them,
and life will be rich indeed.
