In our last article we mentioned how people can get caught up what they did in the past. But how about worrying how your future will look like? It’s good if you consider your long-term goals and prepare for them. What isn’t so good is getting negative consequences because you are worrying about your future.
The only thing you should be doing about your future is participating in little changes now to achieve greater success in due time. Make tiny changes like going for a walk everyday or eating healthier more frequently. These changes don’t originate from worrying, they come from planning ahead.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. – Buddha
It’s true that your future is important and you need to pay attention to preparing for a great future. However your future will be better if you focus on the things right in front of you, live in the moment. A great example of living in the moment is meeting new people that you haven’t seen before. When you are waiting for something or someone what are you doing to pass the time? Reading articles on your phone, listening to music or texting useless messages? What about living in the moment and seeing if someone around you is willing for a conversation?
Same thing goes for going on a job interview. The main thing is the result you achieve are you being accepted to get the job or are you refused. Well I would argue that isn’t the only important thing. Having a good conversation and obtaining a good relationschip is important too. It might not get you the job right now, but it builds future potential.
